Earlier this year we were visited for the first time by a group of wild turkeys. One day we had 15 of them in the yard. There were three males all puffed up in their glory, strutting around with the "we bad" attitude. The females were ignoring them and fighting amongst themselves. They fed from the ground around the feeders, even though they could have easily reached up and eaten directly from the feeder itself. Once spring had really arrived and food sources were more plentiful, we no longer saw the turkeys until this week. We have had one perhaps two turkeys at a time visit the yard. I had the camera handy today and was able to catch this one in the act of eating dinner (she's under the feeder with her head down and the tail is behind the lilac bush that is just coming into bloom). All of a sudden I have a craving for stuffing and cranberry sauce.
