Turkeys are weird looking! But it is cool to see them; I've never seen a wild turkey. Mallards do the vacuuming function (picking up leftover seeds/seed casings) in my yard! <blockquote>Monica, Yep, turkeys are weird looking until dressed and ready for dinner. Pray you never have a flock of turkeys 'vacuum' your garden. What they don't eat outright they'll peck to death. The aftermath of a visit will leave a garden looking like a WW1 battlefield.</blockquote> OK, I’m just going to say it. Turkeys are weird looking!

Monica,
Yep, turkeys are weird looking until dressed and ready for dinner.

Pray you never have a flock of turkeys ‘vacuum’ your garden. What they don’t eat outright they’ll peck to death. The aftermath of a visit will leave a garden looking like a WW1 battlefield.

I’m feeling a little medieval so I think I’ll just boil one in oil in a deep fat fryer.

Ratty,
I’m wondering what test strength line I should use on my fishing pole.

I know there are Black Squirrels around but I’ve yet to see one. I see you got lucky and got some photos of one in the woods the other day.
