Turkeys and Timberdoodles

After a Winter that stretched on and on forever (at least compared to Tucson), our turkeys have returned to our yard and the Timberdoodles are doing their mating dance in the back field.

This was March 1st - hopefully the last of the snow this year


These are "our" turkeys, happily eating cracked corn


The Woodcocks, aka Timberdoodles, have also begun their mating rituals in our back yard, a hundred feet or so from our back porch. Dusk, for the month of March, will be "Timberdoodle Time"
Here are Woodcock pictures on Flickr
