Spoiler
alert. This has nothing to do with
horses but I found it interesting. I was
in the kitchen when I heard this rapping on the glass windows in the den. Upon further investigation I found this
turkey tapping on the window with his beak.
Turkeys have been visiting for the past few weeks or so usually in a gang of
three. Not today, the Lone Ranger was
apparently looking for the birdseed I put out every morning. Unfortunately, the resident squirrel was
hogging the bird feeder.
The
turkeys are usually very skittish and take off the minute they see anyone
looking out the window. I was very surprised that he climbed the two steps and
was having a look around at everything inside including the dog and me. I grabbed my camera and wasn’t two inches
from his head and was able to snap some pictures through the glass. He never moved. Tommy Gobbles may have been trying to tell me
to chase the squirrel and refill the feeder.
I’ll never know because I don’t speak turkey.
Here
are some pictures to prove I’m not hallucinating:

| "Hello" |
 |
| " Umm, excuse me, there seems to be an intruder in my feed" |
 |
| "Are you even listening to me" |
 |
| " So what are ya doing in there, any good shows on" |
 |
| "Might as well leave, the service around here is for the birds" |

| Meet the fattest squirrel in the neighborhood! |
