a stroll along a local bike path

Heather said...: Lea: This is nothing. I saw about 50 of them on a residential street in my neighborhood just before Christmas last year. They were everywhere -- in yard, on roof tops -- and boy were they making quite a racket.

Beth: Now that would have been cool to see. I love coming across them while walking, but this was the first I'd seen them on (or just off) the bike paths. We see a lot of them in my neighborhood, not to mention the Arboretum. Speaking of -- Ch 3 used one of my turkey pics (not one shared here) and a photo of colorful Arboretum trees in their "fall color" segment at noon on Monday. The Arb trees are posted in their "fall color" gallery, but I did not see the turkey there. :)

Colleen: I would expect you to see a lot of them, living in the country. I probably see as many or more than you and I'm in the city. Even these pics are of a city bike path. ☺; Thursday, October 29, 2015 11:30:00 AM

Heather said...: Hi Sue -- That's actually a hen with her almost full-grown brood. She was definitely proud and protective.; Sunday, November 01, 2015 12:39:00 PM
