On Wednesday morning I was lounging lazily in my living room, when I heard an interesting bird calling out loudly from the back yard. At first I was content to ignore it, but before long my curiosity got the better of me and compelled me to peak outside the window. I told myself that the creepy forest would most likely conceal this noisy neighbor, but I looked nonetheless.
To my surprise, there was a turkey in the yard.
I watched as he strutted through the patches of tall grasses that were interspersed throughout the pine needle carpet. He continued to holler for his friend or lover, while casually pecking at the ground here and there. He seemed too lonely to concern himself with food much, however, and didn't stall long in his quest for company. He made his way around the house and toward the road, but then thought better of it and remained safe in the shrubbery between my house and the neighbors'.
Not wanting to startle this strange bird, I stayed in the house and didn't venture into the screen room. I was still able to snap this picture of him from the window, though, and it appears that he may have noticed my presence after all...
