I woke up a little earlier than I planned to Sunday morning. But was greeted by an unusual sight.
I know there are turkeys in the area but very seldom to I see one in my backyard. This female wild turkey just strolled right through my backyard.

Can you feed her and she will come to you more often
I think turkeys eat corn.
I saw the turkey the other day having a face-off with a Canada Goose. I think the Canada Goose won because the turkey backed off.
Today I saw a flock of turkeys in a newly planted farm field.
Turkeys like Canada Geese are not birds I want to attract. They both leave large messes (if you know what I mean).
Have a great weekend!
