just another rainy day at
adifrentdrumr’s wildlife cafe…
The following pictures were taken out my front window this morning.
We have a new guest to add to the usual menagerie of assorted songbirds, woodpeckers, squirrels, deer, doves, groundhogs, skunks, Canada geese, and Mallard ducks –
Today we were visited by
A wild turkey!!!
scoping out the yard and the bird feeder tree

the female Cardinal on the left side of this picture is most likely wondering “who invited you?”
now this is a bird with attitude…
“who you lookin’ at?”

You could about charge an entrance fee for people to visit your zoo…
Has been a while since I saw you here – started to miss ya. (Things have been pretty quiet here on Xanga in total, actually)…
And yes, I too shall update soon!…
Gobble gobble! Check my site for a story about a baby bird in my yard.
Woof to Dolly and Pearl!
How cool is this. It looks like a hen turkey. Lucky you getting to see so many different critters, and right in your front yard! Great photos, thanks for sharing your Audubon adventures.
I’M HUNGRY NOW … WHERE’S MY KNIFE !?!?!?
I USED TO DRINK WILD TURKEY
The other day, Mom and Dad called me and told me they were coming to get me…I “need a break,” they said. Besides my thinking, From What???, I thought, Okay! So, they picked me up and drove to Dairy Queen *Big NO-NO!* and proceeded to the local state park. (It’s Sugarite Canyon State Park, New Mexico, if anyone wants to look it up and see some pretty photos. *wink*) I hadn’t been up there in forever, I think, and the weather was perfect, since it can get pretty chilly, in the higher elevations, this time of year. On the way up, we saw about 4 wild turkeys…what do you call a group of turkeys? *lol* I have no idea or am drawing a complete blank, on that one!
Spring here is a mixture of weather…some cold, snowy days…some beautiful days, with temps in the 70′s, with nights still reaching the freezing mark…windy days, that sound like I should have thought a few more times, before buying a trailer…but nothing settled, yet, which is okay, because then the bugs come back. I have a skunk, for a neighbor, and I do mean the four-legged kind (although my nearest neighbor to the east is about to find my foot up his rear, if he continues to sit outside and gun his engine for a half hour at a time…)
Um…I lost my train of thought…*lol*…
I think I was going to add something about being glad it is nearly time for the deer to return…although I’m not really looking forward to the bears…
*sigh*
Peace and Love…GFW
