Turkeys in the snow in my yard
These turkeys rule my backyard. They seem to do a loop each day through the woods, into my yard, then godknows where else. They fly poorly across the river, and their tail ends skim the water when they try. That always makes me laugh. Otherwise, these are some birds that deserve respect. I watched four of them surround a hawk. They stayed in formation: 2 facing on way, 2 facing the other way. The hawk was trapped and knew it. I left and later saw a few assorted feathers, so a squabble did ensue but I don't think it was too violent. My money is definitely on the turkeys.
This pic is a few years old but this is a daily scene. Year after year it looks the same.
