I'm taking the initiative here ☺️

The sign says: "Be careful! I'm a pheasant. My nest is so well hidden that I'm happy when I can find it. You won't see it until you're standing in it"

Also from today's walk along the river. The heron had been sitting in a perfect position, motionless, until about 50 milliseconds before I tried to take a photo

I had already started the monthly thread for March at 4:42 am and it is now on page two.

Here is my post from the one posted earlier this morning. Doesn't matter which one gains
traction. It's about the pics.


Wife's Artwork - Tile - Acrylics

Turkeys called chics or poults born last spring are now called
yearlings. The jakes are the future toms, and the jennies are
the future hens. At this stage they try to establish a pecking order,
and the jennies will chase other jennies to establish dominance.

The same applies to the jakes. I see more jennies doing this then jakes,
however it is done by both sexes to establish a pecking order among
the flock which I recently discovered, is also called a rafter.

Our local flock is rather large. Almost 130 of them.

I watched a couple of jennies where one was mercilessly chasing the
other on our pond the other day, and one chased the other into the
open water.

For a couple seconds I thought I was going to have to do a rescue
and then she finally was able to lift off and fly a few yards to
shore where she flapped herself a couple times to get rid of the water.
She took a bath.

Their antics are hilarious.

A group of jennies playing follow the leader.
After crossing the pond (Lake Narnia), they will make their way through
or around the swamp in front of them to cross the road.


Why would they cross the road? Because the grass is always greener
of course.

The cattle pasture they are headed toward across the road is now empty
of cattle, as they all go to the spa in late fall when they are rounded up.

My wife jokingly said that the first time we saw them being herded
into cattle carrying trailers, instead of where they were actually
going.

Part of our yard is fenced for our dogs. Here is
a pic that proves the grass is always greener on the other side
of the fence, or some might say road. The turkeys might say
greener in the dog yard which it is.

Deer that had been lying down during the brunt of some snowfall
are now up and about, but they are still covered in snow.
