Gobble gobble..

Turkey's out front..
Sitting on porch (yes, again..love it) with morning coffee, catching up with email, and caught site of a rafter of turkeys (five in this group..we've seen 12 this past winter) taking a stroll, stopping to munch, along side the side of the house down to the dirt road, then into the woods. Looks like a tom, a gobbler (he had the "beard", the long breast feather hanging from his chest), with his harem of females following behind. They often stop for the seed on the ground below the feeders. We see them quite often, and it never stops giving me a thrill each time I do! Don't see that in suburbia! I feel so lucky :)
