the bird feeder when I put out seed in the morning. And at this time of year, 
3-4 Toms will come strutting through to try and make an impression on the 
females and younger males. The three shots in this image set are all the same 
Tom, he is slightly smaller and less aggressive than the others, and so he gets 
pushed over to the side where I can get his portrait without the others 
cluttering up the frame.

anymore."  It took me until about 75 to begin to give up on some household repairs, and now, 
nearly 5 years later it's still difficult.  When you spend a lifetime working with "the 
tools" maybe it never goes away.  Marcia has finally convinced me to stay off the roof.  

Back to photography...the turkey pix, I think, are better in this series than 
the last.  39960 is a pretty classic tom turkey look and 39968 - the tom with 
is harem of hens is fun.

I did waste a few megapixels on local fauna yesterday: turkeys, juncos, a robin 
and a couple of cows.  If you’re already bored nearly into a coma this may be 
slightly less boring:

There are two flocks of turkeys on my ride around the block. This is the small 
flock on the near side of the hill.

That’s a nice set.  On my monitor the shadows look like they could be brought 
up a bit on a couple of the photos, particularly the turkey shots.

#4, that little black and white jobber is a great photo.
