Shot this morning in my front yard (the photo, that is). May your bird be more tender than this gang.

Cool shot of the turkeys man. I think you need to thin 'em out some and have one for dinner on Thanksgiving.

I bet your front yard is a son of a gun to mow.

Aw, Chuck, you beat me to it! Howard, beautiful picture. How much do you spend on mower blades???? I've never got a camera handy for shots like that. Earlier this year, I saw a 2 fawns in my driveway, and about 6 baby turkeys. One fawn was sniffing one of the turkeys! Man, wouldn't ya know it, I couldn't find the camera in time. Living in the boonies is great.

Very cool picture. The colors are great. Some big ol' beards on those birds. I have to say, every time I see a wild turkey, I'm reminded of how wise the decision was to NOT have the wild turkey be our national bird.

So Howard, what IS for lunch?
There was a herd of Spam in our front yard, but like others said, no camera to capture the moment....

Ah well.

My brother has stopped asking me if I watched the Hawks play. He got a bit sensitive when I pointed out that chances of a good game aren't great, chances of a close game are astronomical. They proved my right, losing the next three in a row very badly.
