I noticed this turkey standing, or lurking, at the back of the yard the other morning. It remained in this spot for at least fifteen minutes. It didn’t even take a few steps one way or the other. Most of the wildlife I see, don’t remain in the same spot for extended periods of time. I wondered if there might be babies nearby. I’ve never seen any before, but this bird seemed like it was “on guard”.

Today was the big reveal. I glanced out the window and there they were, an entire turkey family! I was really excited to see them and to have proof that the turkey was lurking for a reason.

I’ve been traveling to Florida quite a bit, not so much to vacation, but to do book signings. As a result, my blogging has, as you may have noticed, become very minimal. We’re also beginning the process of planning a smaller home, built right here ,with the woods, animals and birds. 

Lots of changes, and procrastination. Hopefully I won’t continue to blog so sporadically, thanks for hanging in there with me!
