Every year, I feed and water the birds that come to our backyard. This year, since the passing of our loved golden retriever Maverick, we have had a bird sanctuary of sorts in our backyard.
Suddenly we have birds that we don’t recognize, squirrels galore and as of early this summer – Wild Turkeys.
We noticed a couple of grown turkeys wandering the golf course in early Spring. Then low and behold, the mama and 10 baby turkeys started walking by our back fence. If you look closely, you can see the mama turkey “eyeing” the bird feeders.
Now the babies are grown and mama has “flown the coop”. All ten of them come by our yard daily to see if the birds have dropped anything in the flower garden for them. They feel very comfortable in our backyard and make themselves right at home.
I wonder if they will go under-cover in the next 4 – 6 weeks…
In the meantime, the squirrel who loves our backyard is not at all happy.
