Seven of the Wild Ones...Turkeys!

This flock of seven birds returned to my yard 4 times today, March 18th. I spooked them once, my husband spooked them once, my Maine Coon Cat spooked them once when she jumped into the windowsill, and on their final visit, they ate their fill...then headed for home! I know there is at least one male in the group.

The "Spook" through the window. They were so close that this was all that fit in the frame!

Not as good as my other turkey threads, but oh well!

You must be feeding the good stuff Sandy

They get what the regulars get...cracked corn and black oil sunflower seeds! They must me hungry to be so determined.

There will be days when you get the shot(s) you missed days, months or years before.

Great captures Sandy. You did a great job on the exposure (the snow detail) on the 1st

Thank you Ted. The turkeys are still visiting every day. The flock has now grown to 9 members. They are fun to watch. It's like having an Emu flock!

Great shots Sandy. Thats a decent tom in the group.

Thanks Stacy. I have an old milk-can with a bird feeder on top of it...he eats out of the feeder no problem. He is a big boy!
