Earlier this week I wrote about the gypsy chickens that I discovered in the middle of the woods and the possible coyote sighting in the same area. I’m more and more convinced that it was a coyote….and the chickens are definitely gone. Coincidence?…I think not.
The weather has turned summer hot (90 degrees!!!) but up until a couple of days ago it has been a lovely spring and all god’s creatures seem to be enjoying it. This is a bad photo taken with my little digital camera’s zoom of two wild turkeys that sauntered through my field on Thursday afternoon. I haven’t seen turkeys in a few years and they are known to be elusive, so this was a treat. They wandered and pecked their way across the field and then slowly made their way into the woods. I’m hoping that they’ll come back.
Earlier the same day I drove through a field that must have had close to 30 American Black Vultures on the ground. They remind me of morticians in their somber black and gray. They certainly have a rather grave occupation.
Last year this hawk must have been love sick…he drove me a little crazy with his relentless and plaintive screeching. This year there is a pair nearby and I like to believe that he met his match. It is much quieter this year, anyway.
Driving out late last night 9 deer just stared at me while they enjoyed a snack in the fields. No fear at all…usually they would ‘high tail it’ out of there. And then there are the rabbits that eat the road!?!
