Outdoor Visitors

Tom was burning some brush at the back of our lot early this evening. I walked back there to talk to him, and lo and behold---a big wild turkey came walking out of the woods on the lot across from us! I thought maybe he smelled the smoke and decided to check it out. And he didn't seem in too much of a hurry, but he picked up the pace when he saw us. A minute later, we saw some more movement where the turkey was, and a coyote peered over at us. He turned around after eyeballing us. I think maybe he was following that meaty looking turkey. I never know what I'll see out here!
 
And this little thing was inside the screened-in porch today. The green anole made it out alive yesterday, so I guess word is out---Fud isn't a threat! Those are NOT my fingers in the picture.  species photo

I don't know why..but when I see your blog, this movie comes to mind.. "We Bought a Zoo".

:)
I know! And the thing that comes to my mind is "I've gotta get a life!" NEVER I'd start bird-watching! I do NOT don the pith helmet, binoculars and khakis, but I guess it's that everything is so different now, noting it helps me actualize this change. I'll be here 1 year on June 11! Still feeling like Dorothy in Oz or Alice in Wonderland...

You are doing well Ferree...bird watching is awesome; just ask Elmer. :D

Now, if you start playing with squirrels, I will have to come down there with an intervention plan in place. :)

Dancing with wolves, maybe. Playing with Squirrels? Bring a strait jacket when you come!
