TURKEYS and a FOX

A nice thing about snow is that it can help one see distant objects more easily. This fox was over 100 yards from the road and might have been overlooked if not for the snow.

It made two attempts and came up with what appears to be a vole or mouse...










This group of turkeys were much closer and paid me little notice while I photographed them from my car...






I have read that turkeys in urban areas have become so accustomed to humans that it is common to see them up close. That is not the case in my area, so this was a rare treat...










Thanks for visiting, be well and come back soon.

    1. The fox did make a catch that day. They are fun to watch. When the prey is beneath a blanket of snow they rely on their hearing to locate and pounce on it.

    1. I'm pretty sure I miss more than I see. No matter, I enjoy looking. Better than anything on TV.
