Turkeys in the Yard

This lovely turkey waltzed on up into the yard one afternoon to graze on the grass or soak up the sun. Or just to rub it in our faces that it isn't turkey season right now! I love them, we can hear them clucking and nesting in the trees in the evening. I hear them gobbling in the woods while I hang clothes on the line. I have a world-renowned turkey call that I'm not really good at, but my six year old son can call up the turkeys with just his mouth (no turkey caller needed)!

We very frequently see turkeys, deer, armadillos, owls, birds and other wildlife. The other day I saw our black lab  galloping at full speed down the drive way so I jumped up to see what was the emergency. There were six or seven young deer hanging out in a section of a field where we usually see them. I yelled at the dog to come back and the the deer took off for the opposite wood. The dog came home. 

I love the view from my front porch...whether I'm looking in or out.
