last year she brought 7 babies to scratch around under our bird feeders! Grand daughters were here when she brought the babies around, so hopefully they will be visiting this summer if/when she comes back to show off her brood! Just thought it was neat and had to share it with someone!

What a wonderful site to see.!!!

I do have pictures taken the first year she appeared, 2007 in the spring, so this is her third year. But she is a LOT bigger now. I think she must have been a young turkey that first year. I didn't get any last year with the babies as my hubby, grand daughters & I were so thrilled we just stood in the back door and watched them! Didn't even THINK to go get a camera! But I did learn something...baby turkeys & baby ducks are nothing alike! Little ducks follow momma but little turkeys just run helter skelter all over the place! She seems more skidish now that she's older & wiser I guess! But I'll try to get a picture of her before she leaves again.

How neat that she returns....You are favored!

Hope you can get some pictures to show us later in the year. How many years has she been appearing?

Thanks for sharing...love to watch wildlife and so seldom get the chance to any more.

That is neat Gerry - hope you get some pictures - you very seldom see them in the wild - like that.
