The one's that got away....

Was on my way home this afternoon and look who was crossing the road in front of my truck? These guys are at least four of some area wild turkeys who were the one's who got away! Missed the Thanksgiving table again this year!

Such beautiful birds...so thin and agile and can FLY too!

I've seen this same group of wild turkeys crossing a neighboring cornfield one morning recently. So fun to watch their interactions with one-another and their skittishness and mis-trust of the goings on around them (probably why they are all still alive).  Glad to know they're still in the area...maybe they will move in when they catch on that we have two of their kind in our barn.

Red rover, red rover...send wild turkeys right over!
