Wild Turkeys
In keeping with the season here is a shot of some wild Turkeys in my back yard. The funny part was that shortly after I took the picture my cat wandered into the back yard. He walked into the group of turkeys and sat with them and when they moved off into the woods he walked with them. They didn't seem to mind him at all. Of course this is the same cat that was stalking a fox one day and has gone after deer. Not the brightest bulb on the farm.

My question is..did you get any shots of the cat with the Turkeys? :biggrin:

There are quite a few Turkeys in my neighborhood too, but they are too skittish to get any pictures of them....

Hey Phil- I like your Turkey shot. Our ground doesn't look quite as green here in Colorado at 9000'. Are you still teaching at Stout?

Nice group shot, I saw some yesterday on the way to eat one of their cousins, didn't have time to stop and catch them. Sounds like you have an interesting cat.

Thanks for the comments. I retired from Stout about 5 years ago and spend most of my time wandering around taking photos.
