Creature Feature: "Turkeys: Take Two"

So I came home today to find our backyard filled with our feathered friends, the wild turkeys!  I managed to get some better pics before scaring them off with the crunching of the dry leaves under my feet.  So I thought I would share...
   


"Yay Gobblers!" ~ Ralph's reaction to me telling him
the turkeys were back 

    


"How do we get out of here?"
"Don't ask me, you were supposed to ask for directions!"

       


Thanksgiving is over - safe for another year!

  


On the 3rd day of Christmas my true
 love gave to me... 3 American turkeys!!!

 



CREATURE FEATURE - "Halloween or Thanksgiving?"

I wasn't planning on posting again today, but about an hour ago I happened to notice Remy (my cat) going crazy looking at something outside the kitchen window.  I glanced out to see what had caught his attention, and to my suprise, saw 3 wild turkeys right in my side yard!  They were kicking the leaves around, and apparently eating something on the ground.  I just looked up wild turkeys and found out that they eat insects, berries, nuts, and seeds.  So they were perhaps eating acorns from our trees.  What an awesome site!  And not one that I had expected to see on Halloween!



My first wild turkey sighting!

 


Turkey time!

 


You guys better hide before Thanksgiving!
