Wild Turkeys! - 27 Jul 2026
I went to give blood this afternoon, and while I was strapped into the chair I got a call from Robin. She said that Taige was cackling in the window, and that there were a group of Wild Turkeys checking her out on the other side of the screen! They were clucking, as well.
She got a pic and a short video before they took off into the field. They were checking the feeder for seed and took off when Robin took fresh sunflowers and peanuts out to them. Yard Bird #119.
