Baby Turkeys

I’ve lived in my current home eighteen years, and for the first time, adult turkeys have brought their broods into sight. I’ve never grown tired of seeing fawns in the yard, so imagine this one-time sight! Or was it? The very next day, I saw them again, this time while walking to the mailbox. I stopped and let them decide which way to go (the neighbors’ yard instead of the street), talking softly to them the whole time. My husband used to be embarrassed, I think, when we went on our nightly walks and I, being me, talked to nearly every animal I saw. He eventually got desensitized. 🙂
