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 -- From ahbou today: "If I were a cooking show host, every recipe would have a step that goes, 'And next remove any cat fur that has gotten mixed up in the batch'" |
