Look who showed up in our back yard this evening. Tonight only three turkeys came for dinner but somedays we have as many as nineteen. There are several flocks of turkeys that roam the woods in our area.
This is the first time we have seen a turkey land on top of the feeder.
I wonder if they know what holiday is coming next month.
This photo was taken during the spring mating season.
Wow, I love that spring turkey photo-may I have your permission to share it on my blog?

Absolutely Michelle Carr-Crowe-Selling Silicon Valley Homes in Top Schools San Jose, Cupertino, Saratoga, Palo Alto-Just Call 408-252-8900 Both of these photos were taken from my dining room window.
So Mary! Will one of these big guys wind up in your Thanksgiving roasting pan?

No, these guys don't have to worry. Maybe that is why they hang out in my neighborhood.
I hope non of these turkeys end up on your Thanksgiving table. It would feel like a betrayal of friends - better to find some anonymous bird!

I agree Joanna Cohlan Love the term 'anonymous' bird. I will think of that on Thanksgiving Day.
Hello Mary
Love the photos and with Halloween & Thanksgiving around the corner, how fitting and featured to the group:

Good morning Mary. My wife insists on turkey for the upcoming holiday, I prefer chicken, and the debate continues.

I love the photo. I am sure the turkey does not know about the holiday.

That's great to see you have 'Home Delivery' of your turkey dinner and early this year too!

Good morning Mary. I too have the wild turkeys. They are everywhere but seldom come in my yard because of my pups, but are all over the front of my home. Ich.....

Good morning Mary,
Somebody had to make sure there was nothing left in the bottom of the feeder.
Make yourself an astonishing day.

Great day Raymond E. Camp and turkeys were back again late this afternoon.
Sheila Anderson You have the advantage od clean back yard with help of your pups. Enjoy!
"Home Delivery' is clever Sandy Padula and Norm Padula, JD, GRI NMLS#1483386
Thanks Gita Bantwal but I bet they don't want to be part of Thanksgiving dinner.
James Dray You are one of the few people I know who don't like turkey.

Mary Yonkers - are those turkeys still alive? Maybe they are already in someone's freezer ready for Thanksgiving.

Yes, Susie Kay those turkeys have been coming to our yard twice a day for several weeks. Some day 19 turkeys arrive
That's a lot of turkeys to show up for dinner in your backyard! I wonder what attracted them? And that one on top of the birdfeeder is definitely making a statement!
Did they do the Turkey Trot too???

These turkeys roam the fields & wooded areas outside the suburbs of Erie. Thanks for stopping Patricia Feager
That turkey in the second picture was really showing off! I live near the American River Parkway, and we have flocks of Wild Turkeys that inhabit the area. When I ride my bike there, I often encounter them!

Myrl Jeffcoat In the past I have enjoyed reading your post about the American River Parkway. These turkeys roam our area frequently from spring through late fall.
