Gobble Gobble.

I have a routine of waking up in the morning and going to the window to see what's shakin' in the yard. This routine has awarded me lots of amazing sights. Animals are usually out at daybreak and 15 minutes later- are gone. This morning the view brought me a hilarious sight.

Three deer were grazing in the meadow. Out comes the wild turkey. Apparently there is something in our yard that's really tasty. The deer started to chase the turkey out of the yard. I couldn't believe my eyes. I went and grabbed the camera. That big ol' dumb bird high-tailed it out of the yard like a lightening bolt- gobbling all the way, with the deer on his heels. I thought maybe I'd see a fight- like a rooster, but instead... the deer won. Sweet victory for the grazers... sad morning for the wayward bird. The low light and the speeding pullet made for a few blurry shots, but at least it I got a couple.

As mentioned previously, the wee one's have arrived back at the feeder and yesterday I sat and enjoyed them buzzing around. The day was warm and breezy and the spring smells were in the air. Summit kept watch on the deck. I wonder what would happen if he saw the turkey when he was out in the yard? I think I'd have to start peeling potatoes.

Have a great weekend!
