Happy Turkey Day




I have previously posted pictures of birds that come to our feeder. Sparrows, flickers, quail, hawks, magpies, and starlings have all helped themselves to a quick repast in our back yard. But today tops them all.
We had five hen turkeys (wild ones) make it into our back yard and spend some time foraging in the Virginia Creeper. Now, we have seen wild turkeys in the mountains north of here but this was a first for us. We live two miles from the center of town!
What a treat! Guess they felt safe because I ordered my Thanksgiving bird just today from Eggers.
