Lewiston mans turkey footage to be shown on CBS Sunday Morning

Hank Heusinkveld's wild turkey footage will be featured on “CBS Sunday Morning” today during the show's nature segment. The retired U. S. Forest Service employee from Lewiston spent six days capturing the video due to the skittish behavior of the wild birds. His dedication underscores the challenges associated with wildlife videography.

The segment will air from 7-8:30 a. m. on local affiliate stations KLEW in Lewiston and KREM in Spokane. Heusinkveld's efforts highlight the local wildlife of Asotin and its significance to the region's natural heritage. The feature not only showcases the beauty of wild turkeys but also brings local stories to a national audience.

Wildlife enthusiasts and residents alike may find inspiration in Heusinkveld's work. This broadcast serves to connect viewers with nature, emphasizing the importance of wildlife conservation and appreciation.
