As I walked out one morning.....walking down Norwich street
Anemone and I were looking out the window this morning, looking down Norwich Street. It was around 9am, she was late but we were in no hurry.
Around the same time, we both saw a large goose walking up the hill towards us. Strange. The goose was high stepping. Rather daintily. Stranger.
The goose had a waddle.
The goose was a wild turkey!
It walked right up the hill, jumped onto our side walk and deeked into the neighbours yard. I ran out in my stockings, Artemis screaming bloody murder, and all I got was this shot.
Not an Ivory Billed Woodpecker, no, but close.

Wow! I wonder where the turkey came from. Maybe the forest area Nemy's first day care was in.
ReplyDeleteI once saw a wild turkey in the Slocan area. Paul said they were brought in there and released. He had also heard they made rather tough eating.
very cool!
ReplyDeleteI've seen wild flocks around Osoyoos and I find them tres attractive compared to the domestic variety. Also your mood last week could have been a virus--I felt sooo tired, come and go head ache and tres weepy for 9 days! Finally it's left me. I know it was a virus.
