Tons of wild turkeys here too, both in the fields and in the cabinet over the fridge. I don't recommend going after both at the same time.

We get the wild turkeys coming up to our turkey run especially in the spring looking to get lucky, or to fight with mine through the fence. Those buggers sure can run off fast when they see you.

My mother's crab apple trees are always loaded with them during the winter and spring as they are looking for food. They can fly quite the distance, though not high off the ground and disappear in an instant. People call turkeys dumb, but they really aren't. My husband hunts them and they aren't easy to get.

My husband had a wild Tom try to race him, husband in car, tom on foot parallel. Lol. Deer do the same thing sometimes here.
 
My friend said it happened to her and a turkey on a country ride while riding her moped. Makes me giggle when I think of it. Crazy turkeys.

Deer around here are dangerous, tis the season. We will see if my husband can hit another with his company truck going to work in the early morning, seems almost every year it happens.

The deer are too bold around here - one pulled down our wild bird feeder so we had to relocate it higher on a roof over our shed's patio.

One a few weeks back was a few yards off my deck at dawn and stomped her feet, made the blowing sound and stared at me :oops:. Saw no antlers so had to be a gal.
 
Wow - I thought I was lucky seeing a teeny little bird in the backyard this morning I'd never seen before - a Grey Warbler. Very cute and tiny. But that's nothing compared to wild turkey and deer!

@bruceha2000 your alpaca are beautiful! I bet they felt better after a clip despite not being overly cooperative. Much like my baby cockatiels getting their faces washed!

I saw two turkey hens with their broods on the way to town but they were into the bushes before i could get a picture. Also saw a dead deer by the side of the road.
On the plus side, i sold my kitten and bought some groceries.

I love seeing all the birds here at Treetops. From the tiny hummingbirds to the cat birds that were calling today. Not too thrilled when i see hawks and vultures, but only because i have fowl.
