Turkeys

I know there have been plenty of posts but what the heck is with the turkeys. We have 40 plus in and around our yard everyday. They are great, fun to watch although the dogs go a bit crazy when they are here. Has the population exploded or do they just like me?

Prior to the hunting season, they were everywhere all the time.

Then they disappeared.

Now they're back.

Yes, they sure made a comeback didn't they. Again, your government at work.

We have many turkeys in the yard at the house in Massachusetts. Not to be outdone by the deer and red foxes.

A neighbor has occicats and the first time I saw them thought they were ocelots. Look exactly like them. Beautiful animals.
