Thanksgiving Turkeys?

Wayne yelled in a quite voice (is that possible) to get my camera and go out onto the porch. I was surprised to see a whole line of wild turkeys parading between the fence and the river. Then one lost turkey came from the front of our yard and was trying to get to the others. Wayne said " Go open the gate and let the turkey out, so he can join the others." I did as I was told, the turkeys didn't mind Wayne. They all turned around and came through the gate into our yard. We took pictures but it was almost dark and this is the only one that turned out. To our great suprise all 15 turkeys came into the yard, flew into our trees and spent the night.

In the morning Wayne got up early to take pictures of them nesting in the trees, but the early bird gets the worm, bug or what ever they eat. Because they were out of the trees by the time he got up.

The funnest story about the turkeys was told by Wayne as he watched a big gobbler try to roosted on Adams weather vein. The turkey would land on the weather vein, then the weather vein would turn around in circles and knock the turkey off, but the turkey would try again. Finally the turkey slept the night on Adams roof.
