Not quite as dramatic as a moose, but still…
Yesterday, I was relaxing in the hammock on our back porch, reading a book, when Jeannine alerted me to the presence of some creatures crossing our lawn.
TURKEYS!!!
Unfortunately, I did not have my good camera handy, so I was only able to get a few shots with my pocket camera, and those were through the screened porch windows.
Nonetheless, you can still see that not only are there two adult birds, but either six or seven young ones with them. I'd never seen a "family flock" like this before.
They crossed the yard in silence and then were gone into the woods. -- PL

I think I saw these guys down the hill in our back pasture yesterday, too! I like your blog, Pete.
Nice pics, don't often see wild turkeys... sometimes partridge but cool stuff anyway =)
these pics kind of have a cool "painted" look to them. They seem to have been brushed on canvas. The screen probably did all that.
I've seen groups of adult turkeys before but, I've never seen a group of young ones with their parents. Great photos! Very cool to see the babies. Thanks for sharing these pictures with us. You've been getting a lot of great nature shots lately.

Turkeys are in my area,but very rare. I saw my second ever wild turkey sighting just yesterday.
