Wildlife while Showing Homes

Yesterday I was showing in Castle Pines, and thought I would drive down Daniel's Gate Road, and it was virtually empty at least for a while.    It was a beautiful clear day with the mountains so clear!

Then I came upon a whole flock(?) of wild turkeys.   We don't see them often here, but have in the Pinery in Parker and now in Castle Pines.    These birds were so beautiful, with their colors so vibrant.   I wish I would have done a close-up shot, but there were cars behind me, waiting for them to cross the road!

Thinking they are not aware Thanksgiving is just around the corner!   🤪

Grant, they just coming and coming, and stopped up traffic on this road, it was rather funny.

Or... maybe they do know Thanksgiving is coming and are high-tailing it out of town. Great shot BTW.

Hello Joan - over the years in real estate, I have encountered some bears, a coyote or two and although not necessarily wild, plenty of peacocks.

Ahh, a familiar site! We have quite a few of those around as well, and flock is a good descriptor! So is gaggle or rafter.

Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®, CRS deer are normal, but wild turkeys are a different story.

Kat Palmiotti should have searched for what the group of turkeys would be....so unusual.   I don't remember seeing any the day I was at your home, they must have been napping still.

Joan Cox - Funny because when I went out this morning, I passed several big turkey groups....  And I thought of your post!

How appropriate, a turkey walk just before Thanksgiving.

What fun to see these wild turkeys, Joan. That's a wonderful photo.

We used to see them at my Mom's house in the suburbs outside Philadelphia and I have a few terrific photos. Can't say I have seen them here in Cali, at least in my area!

Leanne Smith LOL, that is good, a turkey walk, but is was more of a jaunt.   They were definitely not in a hurry.

So it appears. Thank you for this sharing.

Jeff Dowler, CRS we don't see them where I live either, this road I was on, is about 45 minutes southwest of me, closer to the mountains.
