A couple of days ago my husband called for me. It seems a couple of wild gobblers had wandered into our backyard and were eating birdseed that other birds had kicked out of the bird feeders. I slowly opened the door and took the photograph below first. It sort of spooked the big guys (actually a male & a female) and they ran for the front.
I cut them off at the pass by going out the front door. I started making my version of a turkey gobble and it must have worked because they stopped and looked at me thus allowing me to get a pretty good shot of them standing together.
Later in the day I saw them scurrying down the road... unfortunately Gertie saw them too & made a bee line for them. No problem for the birds; they just flew into the trees across the road. Just another bit of wildlife in our area.

Love the turkeys and I bet the bigger one is the male who thinks he is smaller than the female (my picture ha ha).

How relaxing to watch critters walk about, reminding us that the world goes on.
