This morning I was on the front porch calling one of my dogs who likes to run
out the gate when I open it. The first time I called, I didn't see her but I
did hear some turkeys. I couldn't tell where they were (sound bounces around
on the hills & can be very deceptive) , but I knew they were close.
The dog was obviously busy with dog business as she merely glanced at me &
went back to digging. I decided to try bribery & went inside then onto the
back porch with treats. I heard the unmistakable sound of early-morning wing
flapping & spotted a half dozen turkeys roosting maybe 100 feet up the hill.
What made me laugh out loud was that each time I called the dog's name, one of
the turkeys answered me. It probably took a dozen calls to persuade the dog I
had something worth investigating. By that time my other dog had eaten her
treats and wandered maybe 25 feet up the hill with a puzzled look on her face
as she looked toward the turkeys. I'm always amazed how "late" the turkeys
sleep compared to smaller birds & how much noise they make prior to leaving for
the day.
