  1. Oh, cool! Big old birds! They look so funny when they run and fly. Talk about ungainly speed:)

    It sure feels early for spring, here. Heck, it's April, and my pond's spillway is dry. weird.

  2. Yes, they are wild turkeys. We used to have lots more that would come through the backyard, but with the dogs running around and barking, they don't come through as much.

    My dad will be excited to see that both are good sized gobblers, see the reddish heads and beards?

    I have also seen a couple of hens over behind 2 of the pastures.


    GL, when they fly off it looks cartoonish doesn't it?

  3. Yes, turkeys are about as graceful as Canadian geese landing in my pond. B52 bombers- KerSplash!!!!
    No offense to the Canadians but when sharing a pond with a pair of Mallards and Wood ducks, it is quite the spectum of aquatic landings.

  4. didn't Benjamin Franklin suggest them as the national bird?
    They are pretty wiley and are such good mothers. But they do remind me of dinosaurs when they walk.

  5. Paddy, yes it was Ben that suggested them as the national bird, unfortunately, they aren't very stately and regal. I like your comparison to a dinosaur walking, fits perfectly.

  6. I bet your dogs love the turkeys. They are probably fun to chase. Fascinating birds though.

    Thanks for posting the photos of your gorgeous horses. Spunky is really doing well.
