Mama Turkey

About two weeks ago, Nick and I got to witness a mama turkey and her five babies walking down our road. We got a big kick out of it and told Mike and Jay that night when they got home. The next day, when Mike and Nick were driving on our road, Nick exclaimed to Mike, "Dad, this is where we saw the big chicken." Anyway, we've discovered that the mama turkey is living in our timber. Our dining looks out into our backyard so on weekends when we sit down for breakfast we see the mama turkey and her five babies scurry across our yard. We've had a good time watching how much the babies have grown in two weeks.
I tried to get a picture this morning but mama turkey kind of blends into all the timber. You can barely see one of her babies (off to the right) following her.
