At 2 p.m. today we left in a light rain for Carolyn's dental appointment.
Just at the top of our driveway, standing in the rain, soaked to its
last feather, was a very large Wild Turkey poult. It was standing with
eyes nearly closed. I drove my car in its direction to get to the top
of the driveway and passed within two feet. It did not move.
The rain stopped in a few minutes and a hot summer sun took over
for the day. But we were long gone and in a dentist's chair.
Arrived home at 4:30 p.m. and the poult was not there. I searched
about the nearby wooded and brushy area and found neither hide
no feather.
We have had a nice flock here for at least 10 years.
Let's go birding . . . .
