Picture of the Day for August 17, 2016

A mother turkey has been bringing her four babies out on my lawn looking for bugs to eat (including ticks which I am glad as they can eat 200 ticks in a day). If they were seed eaters, they would have had a lot of sunflower seeds this morning as some critter smashed my bird feeder pole last night and the feeder was on the ground. A group of turkeys is called a rafter although I don’t know if that holds true if only one adult and the rest are babies (which are called poults).
