Turkeys

Filed under: Life in Vermont — miasmagladness @ 4:09 am

These turkeys were across the road from our place. They’re a common sight around here, especially in empty cornfields. Sometimes they come close to the house. Not so many years ago they were apparently rare but then somebody introduced more of them; one time I saw a flock in town behind K-Mart! In the winter they look so miserable huddled in the snow.

Ed wrote a poem:

Tracks

Wild turkeys

Strolling through the snow

Arrows pointing the way they didn’t go….
