coolest yard visitors ever!

Wild turkeys!!! There were 3 adults and Tim counted 15 baby turkey chicks (is that what they're called?) - During the past 2 weeks we've encountered them crossing our road 1/2 mile down, but this is the first time they've come through our yard. (Are they called a flock?) They moved right along, I hardly had time to snap quick photos as the sun moved in & out of clouds - as usual, my pics don't do them justice - wish they gave a better sense of how highly patterned the adults are. What a treat first thing this morning!






^^^This was the direction towards which they headed, hidden by the underbrush.
