Oh sure, I'm betting golfers would love to have a bunch of turkeys roaming around the course

You might be surprised. They would make far less mess than the geese do.

Surprisingly, we don't often get a visit from the geese. They seem to prefer the golf course in Rawlins.

Of course, if there were a bunch of turkeys on the course, business would probably pick up come hunting season.

For a brief time in December 2005, I had a fox squirrel visitor. Since it was pretty friendly and not people shy, I assumed that someone had relocated it from town. I used to enjoy seeing it daily as it seemed to like hanging out on the electric pole. Then one day I saw a Red-tailed Hawk sitting on the electric pole instead of the squirrel. I believe the hawk invited the squirrel to be the guest of honor at dinner. I never saw the squirrel again but did see the hawk for several days in a row.

This morning I saw branches moving in one of the Russian Olive trees. Upon closer inspection I spotted a big Fox Squirrel jumping around in the tree. It has been nearly 14 full years since I have had a fox squirrel visitor. Unfortunately I had 2 other uninvited guests to deal with and by the time I got a camera, I was not able to locate the squirrel again.

The other guests were of the black and white type. The young one had a thin white stripe down its back and shiny black everywhere else. The mature one had two very broad white stripes with just a thin black stripe on its back along with the normal amount of black elsewhere.

My Rose Comb Legbar pullets have looked ready to start laying for several months now but have not laid any eggs in any of the nest boxes.

On occasion some of the hens will lay an egg in the middle of this huge Yucca. I checked it three days ago and it was empty. Glanced at it today and voila!
