A couple of young turkey hens passing through my back yard. Mean while, in the fore-ground, one of their distant relatives just happens to be in the smoker.
(I didn't tell them)
Happy Thanksgiving to all of ya!

Betcha Vince and Gerd come back with a picture of some cows walking thru their yard while they're eatin' beef jerky.
Gobble, gobble!

My son, Chris, lives in Massachusetts near the Tufts University Veterinary College. They were nice enough to release a few (a dozen or so) wild turkeys about 15 years back, somewhere on their 600 acre campus. Those few birds have now become several big flocks of 40 - 60 birds with some splinter groups, and they roam around the neighborhood within a couple of miles of the center of the campus. Interesting campus, too - a netherland between Ivy-League-looking buildings and high-tech barns and clinics.
One of his neighbors (who grew up on a farm) has taken to feeding "her" flock (20 or so) and they sit up on top of her garage roof, looking, for all the world, like a bunch of buzzards from a horror movie. They're also amazingly good (and fast) flyers, especially for such large and ungainly looking birds, but when the Toms puff up, spread all their feathers out and strut around, they're really stupendous!!
