    Had some pre-Christmas visitors when I got home from work last night. They've been back all day eating the red berries (don't know what they are) out of this tree. Two are in the tree and they knock lots of berries to the ground where a couple of bully toms are running everyone else off. Thinking about inviting one of them to Christmas dinner.

    Mark's a good friend, an avid birder, hunter, shooter and martial artist. We both have roots in the mountains of Boulder County. I'll probably see him this evening. That DOE area and the OM cemetery are thick with screech-owls. Thanks for helping us out.

    Bailey, those are GREAT photos of the turkeys. I only seem to get shots of their backsides as they're moving away from me. You are lucky to have them as yard birds and it would be very tempting to take one for Christmas dinner!

    Yeah, they normally don't come this close to the house. I think their bellies are controlling them in this cold snap. I actually took those thru the bedroom window. All the other pics I have of them are as you described...running away.

    I'd get that close, but probably not much closer. Looks like he's got some barbed wire in his antlers.

    It's not barbed fortunately, but its definitely some kind of wire/fencing components stuck up there.

    How's this for getting close to a turkey? I couldn't believe how close he let me get to him.




    Then again when I left.
