Ed's posting made me smile.  I live in a semi-rural area & get to see at least 
one turkey, if not many, several times a week.  On several recent occasions I 
had one INSIDE my fenced yard (which is about an acre).  Mind you, the dogs 
were only 50 or so feet away on the back porch, fortunately, taking a snooze.  
The turkey walked around for awhile, then seemed a little confused about 
finding a place in the fence to get thru, then finally flying over into nearby 
branches.  It even walked around under one of the feeders, pecking around, on 
one visit.  While I frequently hear them up the hill behind me in the woods, 
this is the first year I've ever had such close visitors.  I suspect the dogs' 
advancing ages play a lucky part for the turkeys!  In their younger years, I 
think the visit would not have had such a calm ending.   Thais Carr, Thompsons

PS  My favorite part about having them roost nearby is how noisy all their 
wingflapping is when they're getting up in the morning, at quite a late hour 
for birds, may I add.  Their favorite trees went down in the tornado & I 
haven't had either them or the turkey vultures roost here since.  I do hope 
they decide some of the remaining trees are just as suitable!
