They are getting bigger and there are ten babies!
Parents and babies were in our driveway when Thom came home today. One of our outside feral cats was on a pot shelf watching them all and looking a bit nervous. Those parent turkeys are pretty big.

I had a discussion with a friend during the brevet this weekend. He said he'd been doing roving SAG for the Grizzly Peak century this year and came across a rider who'd hit a turkey while descending and had hideous road rash (the turkey was much worse off). We discussed the fact that 10+ years ago, we didn't notice turkeys in "civilized" parts, but now they're more commonplace, theorizing that killing off coyotes, bobcats, etc., has removed the natural predators.
We got turkeys on our deck and roof a year or so ago:

And if they're anything like parent geese, they can be pretty mean!!
