Blog number one thousand two hundred twenty whatever, where River chases turkeys.

20 Comments

Wild turkeys. They’re comical and I love to watch them…

.

.

But then they discovered my deer grain pans.

.

.

I chased them, but half heartedly and with ridiculously cringe worthy baby talk.

.

.

But they’re turkeys, so as soon as I walked in the house and looked out the window? This.

.

.

So I chased them again. And that time they stayed gone for an hour… just long enough for me to put out the nightly deer snack.

.

.

While I don’t mind them coming to eat the dropped bird seed and assorted Casa River insects, they’ve figured out the buffet of deer grain, fruit and fox food is laid out at 3:00pm and this might be a problem.

I thought maybe we’d seen the last of her.

But no, she was out back stealing chopped up deer apples yesterday.

.

She was back on the patio table.

.

And there’s only one reason for that. Do you know how sick and tired I am of finding small pieces of rotted apple every time I sit down?

.

And then of course there’s the poo.

.

She leaves it there on purpose, I know it.

.

And may I just say, sipping from puddles of rain water filled with your own poo?

.

Not the least bit appetizing.

.

And please note… in that last picture? She is literally pooping. Am I a great photo journalist or what!

Keeping a (blue) eye on Bambi.

It’s been fun watching this little fawn grow up.

Although sadly we’re watching his mother decline at the same time.

Those blue eyes just slay me.

Of all the deer we’ve had over the years, this is our first blue eyed visitor.

Little one stays close to mom.

Hope she’s around long enough to teach him what he needs to know…

Strutting out of the woods with his son.

Always wary of the neighbor’s dogs.

And the crazy lady with the camera.

The time of year I worry about him is almost upon us.

And as much as autumn is my favorite season….

It brings with it rifles and bullets and trophy hunters.

And I’ll fear for our beautiful visitors.

They’re brothers and no, I have no idea why their racks grow in different shapes.

And lastly, the end.
