Latest visitors to our houseCouple of days ago the dogs were going crazy outside, this typically means that either someone was at the gate or they spotted some animal on the other side of the fence. So camera in hand I stepped outside and here is what I saw
   They are wild turkey's that visit the various bird feeders around the area. Praveen

Praveen, how lucky you are to have all those wild turkeys visit you. They look so majestic. Hope no hunter decides to freeze one for Thanksgiving. That is a large flock too. Thank you so much (as always
 ) for your beautiful photography.

Those photo's are great.
 Can't wait til my hubby get's home to see them, he used to be a hunter but now he put away the rifle and carries a camera.  Thanks for sharing. Robin.

How wonderful, to see the Wild Turkys to! We also have them, and they are a true treasure to see. Yes, I hunt them too, but they are so sly!!! Huting is a way to control the population. I know some people don't like it, but without hunting, the turkeys would over-populate. Even with hunting, they are not all shot. Beautiful Birds!!!

The best part is when they have babies toddling around after them, you'll have a bunch of moms and a dad or two and then all these babies underfoot. I used to live at the edge of a wildlife preserve and they came into the backyard every day. It's fun watching the babies grow into long-legged gangly teens and then adults.

Best Part!Oh, Yes, and those little "peeps" are so adorable! They are so cute too, and to watch them cross a road! All in single file, no arguing! I think we could all learn from them, don't you? Oh, and those little peeps DO listen to that Hen too!

We had some about 5 years ago in front of our house and they have very beautiful colorful faces. As I drove up the street they were walking on the sidewalk and seen the shiney rims on my car so came out and started pecking at the rims. I laughed so hard I almost peed myself, I couldn't go anywhere they were having too much fun playing with my car.
