2007-11-18 Thanksgiving Turkeys

Looking out in our backyard this morning, we saw a large rafter (this is what a group of turkeys is called) of wild turkeys gathering at our neighbors feeding station. I counted over 20 different birds at the feeder and in the adjacent woods. We have seen the turkeys around here before, but this was the largest number at one time.

The turkeys have had plenty to eat and are quite large. As we stepped out on the deck, they were not startled, so we were able to watch them for a while.
