Happy American Thanksgiving to my American readers. As I explained to the Signals clerk on the phone yesterday, Texan-accent, Ontario celebrated it in October. He didn't know that! (P.S. Our shopping is done!)
The turkeys are interesting critters. In the cities they become a nuisance. Around here, they are a hoot.
First of all, before the snow fell, the trio wandering through the forest. One of them has a limp. Funnily enough, I think the limp one wasn't the one eaten by the coyote [The turkey incident]!

They cam for a visit at the feeders. The limpy one is still managing.turkeys from Jennifer Jilks on Vimeo.
If you decide to watch it, you'll see how difficult it is on the soft snow.turkeys in snow from Jennifer Jilks on Vimeo.
BTW – the snow is melting. We had 4 cm yesterday, which I duly blowed out and shoveled. It's down to a yucky mess.

Thank you for coming by my blog to leave a comment. People need to get over themselves and think rationally about the pandemic, but sadly, many are not. I enjoyed watching your videos of the turkeys. We don't see them in BC. They are big! Do they ever fly?
...I NEVER get to see one with its tail spread open.
They do fly, Lorrie! Usually when the coyote turns up.
That was mating season, Tom!
They look distinguished.
Our usual Turkeys have not been around too much for a few months. There are a dozen or so across the road but they have not been visiting us.
All of our snow, at least 10 cm yesterday, is gone today except for a few little protected spots.
I just can't get over your huge wild turkeys.
