For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Good morning everyone! I hope your day is starting off well.
Here we have one of my favorite photos, a wild turkey sitting on my bird feeder. Her name is Theodora, and she has been around for 3 years now. But she is definitely the largest bird I have ever had sitting on one of my bird feeders since I began feeding birds! She became very friendly and would come around each morning and stop beside me on the deck for a little chat, then she would go for her breakfast on the feeder. Now that my new neighbor is here, his dog keeps her out of the yard. Too bad really. Oh well. Have a wonderful day everyone and God bless!
Steve and Muffin.

Thatβll save some expense for Thanxgiving! Oops, but Canada already had Thanxgiving! And here you could have had a free turkey. π

Oooo, what a terrible thought! She was here to visit the last 2 Thanksgivings, so I did have turkey on Thanksgiving! We used to enjoy talking turkey! πππ¦

That is too bad.. that dog should be leashed or indoors!

He does spend most of the day inside, but he really needs to be taken for walks, instead of running loose like he does.

I absolutely agree with that! It’s like a kid that has no supervision… they will get into trouble every single time!

Awesome pic of Theodora! Many years ago in southeastern Montana during my first three years of teaching, I witnessed a turkey in flight. They would hang out in a grove of cottonwood trees south of town.

Thanks so much Richard! They are just starting to move into our area. I have seen Theodora fly a few times, she is fast! They are interesting birds. I guess Montana would be a more native area for them. π
