On the road up the mountain we saw three wild turkey hens. They were crossing in front of us and we were able to watch two of them for a little while...one actually crossed back and forth twice....before they picked and scratched their way up the hillside. They should begin nesting soon. My husband is a 'turkey hunter', but he usually just goes into the woods and watches them! They are really fasinating birds....perhaps ole Ben Franklin should have prevailed and gotten them adopted as our national bird.

How cute!
In addition to flowers, we really enjoy spotting animals in the wild.
