Backyard and Beyond

Starting out from Brooklyn, an amateur naturalist explores our world.

As John Burroughs said, “The place to observe nature is where you are.”

Wild Turkeys Could Drag Me Away

A lot of bird.
A herd of Wild Turkeys in a Dutchess County, NY,. cut-de-sac.
Several of them flew when the dog* and I approached. Have never seen one of these, much less half a dozen of them, up in the trees.
A couple of days earlier, I’d seen a lot of turkey tracks.

    Coincidentally K & I had turkey eggs for breakfast. Airbnb had chickens and turkeys. Turkey eggs are a lot of egg!

    Herd of turkeys? That’s a rafter of turkeys.

      Or, in some neighborhoods, a gang.
