Out the kitchen window... March 20th. The turkeys are in mating mode. The two males, with a harem of about a dozen females, strut around protecting them.
The story on trailcam #2 is fun! For newbies, the males have a 'beard' which you can see on the turkey above. The females do not.
This is a raccoon with kits. Hooper was chasing one of them last night at 9 p.m., he is incorrigible.

Hello Jen, Awesome collection of photos. I love the turkeys and the cute deer.
The deer tongue shot is so cute! Looks like they are all enjoying a feast.

One cannot help but smile looking at these! YAM xx
Is that JB with the bucket? When we had a herd of deer around the yard, before dogs, Mike would shake the bucket of feed and they would come running. They would stand around waiting for him to throw the seed down but they wouldn't approach him.
It IS JB, Karen! He adores his deer. It reminds him of being on the farm, as a kid, with the horses.
Wonderful turkeys and deer! Love those fluffed out feathers of the males! Funny raccoon shot!

Beautiful photos! Lovely shots!
Please tell the turkeys that they can emigrate to Europe!
We do not celebrate Thanksgiving! LOL (By the way, Canada is celebrating thanksgiving?) :)
Wishing you a nice weekend!
The turkeys are show offs!
They seem to get along all right with the deer.
Wow - what amazing captures. Love those turkeys strutting about.
...I've seen lots of turkeys, but never with their tails fanned out! Neat.
interesting about the beard.
Fascinating photos. Happy Saturday.
Hi Jenn-
You have some great animals visiting you.
I am glad you feed them and are friendly to them.
Do you use a night motion camera to take the photos of the raccoons?
Just curious...
Thank you for your visit and comment.
Have a Happy WE!
Peace :)
Wow! Jen ~ lots of critters visiting you ~ and neat photos!
Happy Days to you,

Those turkeys are HUGE! We have some in our community but I don't think they are that big. Love seeing your photos! Hugs!
Interesting that you have Wild Turkeys. Their displays must be similar to our Black grouse who indulge in "lekking", dancing around in circles, jumping up and down and making lots of noise. Not just at weekends though.
Wonderful animals in the snow.
The turkeys are really beautiful.
Best regards, Irma
Beautiful turkeys! You have lots of visitors there!
Some wonderful photographs of the turkeys and deer.
All the best Jan
So very beautiful. But so very cold!!
I had to laugh. It looks like the turkey has a hat on :) The image with the deer :)
That's quite a crowd of turkey and deer ... I have to wonder what was going on when the deer stuck out its tongue!!!
