The Visitors
There is a family of at least 8 turkeys that wander up and down our street. I can hear them chatting with one another long into the night. I captured them visiting our neighbor’s house one morning. I added my own dialog to the photos. Like on the back page of The New Yorker feel free to create your own caption.
This posted in connection with Lens and Lens and Pens Nature Challenge. Wild turkeys qualify as nature Don’t they?
Oh and I’d love to know which photo you like.

Never realized that there were still turkeys in the wild.

I think they look rather funny — like people sizing up a house and whether they should buy it or not. We stay near a pheasant farm so often have pheasants wandering around. They have little road sense and tend to misjudge how long it takes to walk/flap across the road. Oooph! What a mess they can make of the front of a car!

We do have good schools I’m sure the turkey family would like to own here 😉
Your idea makes me laugh!!
Oooo! I wouldn’t want pheasant juice on my headlights…

What an excellent catch, Carol! We saw turkeys just yesterday but not in such a populated area. I like the first one best as it gives the best shot of the turkeys.

They are all over the place these days. I’ll save the first one for Thanksgiving Turkey dinner delivery 😉

You are so lucky! Aren’t they the funniest creatures. Of course they qualify as nature! I am surprised they are so comfortable in an area that is not rural – that is where I see them around here (well, not SO close around here). When I was a kid there were peacocks in my neighborhood and they would go strolling every now and then, but they actually belonged to someone.

They are a little toooo comfortable around the neighborhood eating veggies and scaring cats and dogs…
