I use to see them eating crab apples in my neighbor's front yard when I lived in Livermore Falls, Maine, but that is in Central Maine. I do not remember if I ever saw any turkeys all the way up in the Presque Isle area. I will have to check.Kathie Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10377224759599266209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773600389646021892.post-33353159722696226322012-10-07T16:33:46.238-04:002012-10-07T16:33:46.238-04:00Thanks Roy!Thanks Roy!Kathie Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10377224759599266209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773600389646021892.post-14823243748841297022012-10-07T16:33:30.856-04:002012-10-07T16:33:30.856-04:00Gaelyn, he IS very patient!Gaelyn, he IS very patient!Kathie Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10377224759599266209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773600389646021892.post-78441129177199219802012-10-07T16:33:01.227-04:002012-10-07T16:33:01.227-04:00Carole, I am so glad that you did!Carole, I am so glad that you did!Kathie Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10377224759599266209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773600389646021892.post-45344869798460112322012-10-07T16:32:30.756-04:002012-10-07T16:32:30.756-04:00Thanks!Thanks!Kathie Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10377224759599266209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773600389646021892.post-18255915924190830712012-10-07T16:32:11.168-04:002012-10-07T16:32:11.168-04:00Cynthia, thanks!Cynthia, thanks!Kathie Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10377224759599266209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773600389646021892.post-88107371222747174772012-10-07T16:31:57.340-04:002012-10-07T16:31:57.340-04:00Laurence, too true!Laurence, too true!Kathie Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10377224759599266209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773600389646021892.post-37486587977039227432012-10-07T16:31:16.593-04:002012-10-07T16:31:16.593-04:00Tina, thanks!Tina, thanks!Kathie Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10377224759599266209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773600389646021892.post-85161475842584986932012-10-07T16:28:36.107-04:002012-10-07T16:28:36.107-04:00Laloofah, I am so glad that you enjoyed reading th...Laloofah, I am so glad that you enjoyed reading this post!

We have a lot of wild turkeys here - they'd walk up our driveway and hang around our house when we lived on the side of the mountain and would gobble in response to the summer thunder, and they strut across the streets in town - I just adore them. Their iridescent feathers are so beautiful, and the way they gently talk to themselves and to each other is so endearing. The photo you got of the one standing on his tippy-toes and flapping his wings is especially great. Look at those gorgeous wing feathers!<br /><br />The gazebo is so festive! I love it! And it was thoughtful of the pretty pigeons to pick such photogenic buildings upon which to pose for you! :-) The empty bench and snow on the red sumac berries are beautiful and so evocative of the deep peace that winter brings. <br /><br />I love all the scenery shots, especially the pretty white fence with the lake in the background and the snowy lane through the woods, hope the fishermen had a relaxing day but that the fishes did too and hid successfully beneath the ice (poor fishes!), and that Gus' dad had a memorable birthday celebration!Laloofahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07256023593175821427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773600389646021892.post-11798134105184621492012-01-11T11:55:24.555-05:002012-01-11T11:55:24.555-05:00Now I feel like I've actually been there.

There are only a couple of tiny spots where you can see turkeys in Alberta, both areas known to have mild microclimates. I suspect they were introduced for hunting and are barely hanging on.<br /><br />Regards<br />GuyGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12546069846136464138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773600389646021892.post-71945079027326163742012-01-10T12:02:13.497-05:002012-01-10T12:02:13.497-05:00Lovely snowy scenes Kathie, great shots of the wil...Lovely snowy scenes Kathie, great shots of the wild turkeys.Royhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14669756911857727253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773600389646021892.post-48558491484157126842012-01-10T10:42:59.708-05:002012-01-10T10:42:59.708-05:00The postcard setting photo is stunning!
