TURKEYS IN THE GRAPE ARBOR
The other day I caught these turkeys in the grape arbor. This is a tough time of year for the wildlife to find food. There has been a variety of critters foraging through these grape vines--birds, squirrels, rats, deer standing on their back legs eating whatever they can reach and these turkeys, which I have not seen before. Times are tough for us all, I guess.
