Our newest resident is a very pretty wild turkey.
Her flock came wandering through a few days ago and she stayed behind. Apparently either the food or the company was better at Prairie House than wandering across the countryside. We thought she would probably wander off in a couple of days, but she has remained here. She sleeps in the tree near where the others roost (on the fence wire which covers the pen for our small chicken house) and hangs out with the others during the day. She is well camouflaged. The others are very apparent and extremely easy to see.
Then again, maybe it was this handsome Tom who convinced her to hang around. I do not know if this might be the same lady who came visiting him last spring. It could very well be her...or one of her relatives.
