I stuck my arm out of the house to get a shot of the wild turkey's flying in from the trees.
Poor things can't walk in the snow so they roost in the trees, fly down for some seed and then fly back up again. It seems like so much wasted energy!

Blizzard
Looking out our windows today, I've counted over 30 wild turkey's roosting in the trees, gobbling and waiting for their lunch. Every once and a while one flies down to the bird feeder but can't get to the seeds (there's over 20 inches of snow on the ground) they stand there dumb-founded and then fly back up. Hubby can't stand it anymore, he's off to the barn to get the tractor out and plow some trails for the bird seed. Even the wild turkey's are spoiled here :)
ps. I never saw that many turkey's roosting in the trees before........pretty freaky!

Wild Turkey Invasion
And there they Go...
I counted 32 this visit. They were close to the house a few minutes ago and of course the battery died in my camera....didn't take long before their bellies were full and they were running across the field again.
Besides eating all the Sunflower seeds in the yard, these wild turkey's have discovered their reflection in the truck bumper and they can't get enough of themselves!!

Globe Amaranth Harvest
The Globe Amaranth is Looking Good! I grew a variety of colors this year~ maybe I'll just sell them as "mixed bunches" Much easier than having to separate them:)
As I was picking these tonight, 6 large male turkey's came out of the field and were walking around the yard. Here they are in this top picture. Guess they aren't threatened by me being out here!
These Globe Amaranth are going to be used for potpourri, the rest I'll bunch & hang to dry.

Wild Turkey's
What a special treat! To watch that is!! These Turkeys have been enjoying our Pear and Apple trees for the past week.
As soon as I snapped this picture a baby porcupine came out of the field to enjoy the pears as well. That's when the party broke up :)
