WILD TURKEY'S

We live within the city limits of Eugene but are closer to one of the Buttes in town so we have a lot of trees and places for the wildlife to live. We used to have deer wander through our yard and have seen them in late or early mornings grazing in other yards. We have Racoons that we see now and then and even have a white one we catch glimpsys of too. What we see more often is the Turkeys. When we moved onto the hill a few years ago we spotted the wild turkeys once in a while in the early morning. Now with living across from a cemetary we see them all the time. Usually the flock but once in a while we see what we think is a male and two females. They seem to come down the hill and wander around our area more often than the large flock. We have counted up to 35 at a time spread out over the cemetary. They were just wandering around a couple weeks ago, taking their time so I took a couple pictures. The firehydrant is at the north corner of our property and is just around the corner. For some reason they fasinate me the way they just take their time, even in crossing the street. With the speed the cars come down the hill, I'm surprised we haven't seen any get hit. More Turkey pictures to come..
