Default Turkey!

X-No-Archive: Yes

On this mornings bike ride some turkeys crossed the road and I
daydreamed how it took a year or so after I moved here before I saw
turkey and, given how often they're around since, it was surprising in
retrospect. Coveys of up to a couple dozen with 4 or 5 adults are
common. Now at home I'm reading the paper when I hear a strange noise
and, soon enough, a gobbler emerges from the decks shadow - and there's
Quinn here on the deck, crouched down and intent. The mate shows up and
4 little ones, a wee gathering but plenty to interest Quinn. Eventually
exeunt east and Quinn settles down.

Incidentally a few days ago I heard a strange noise below the deck, a
cat in pain? I jump up and there's Loos, crying out in pride around a
mouse in mouth - her first catch I'm sure. Quinn jumped up to view then
ran around and down as I went for the camera. Alas, by the time I got
back Loos had given up her catch to Quinn's avarice and a Trophy Moment
was missed. Norm

have a step that goes, 'And next remove any cat fur that has gotten
mixed up in the batch'"
