Bob has another girlfriend

One creature that seldom visits us here, is the wild turkey. From time to time we may be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of a small flock traveling along the railroad tracks, but they have only stopped by a couple of times in the past 10 years.

This spring, the critters that live here found a new and beautiful friend when a wild turkey hen stopped by and decided to stay awhile. I believe she was mesmerized by Bob's stunning display and captivated with is romantic "Gobble Gobble Gobble.

She shows no sign of leaving and follows me around the property waiting for me to throw out some corn and  does not seem to be bothered by Kopper our giant Labrador retriever or Norman the pig when they meet in the yard.

Bob struts his stuff in a attempt to impress her and  Betty Lou at first was a bit jealous and tried to persuade
 her to leave, but now they can often be seen together hunting in the tall grass

She is welcome to stay as long as she wishes and we really do enjoy her beauty.
