The weather has settled over the valley and ice fog blankets the pastures at night. The creek is frozen over and the barn cats huddle for warmth around the heat sources provided- and it isn’t even “officially” winter time yet!
Yesterday, I heard the chattering of excited kitties and I looked outside to see MK, Stalker, MCGee, Squirrel and Wild One sneaking up on the walnut tree. I looked over and was amazed at the rafter of turkeys gathered in the trees. I didn’t get around to raking the leaves this year, and there is plenty of bugs and grubs underneath creating a turkey feast.

Good luck, kitties. From what we hear, sneaking up on those birds is hard even without a bunch of dry leaves.
That is so cool! I’ve always wanted to get a picture of some wild turkeys but have never been lucky enough yet.
Mmm, don’t use the word ‘turkey feast’ as Christmas nears unless you mean it!
