Cedar Elms are exploding into leaf.
You can almost see it get greener by the hour.
Since Friday we've had 3 turkey shows, one with a deer running through 21 turkeys, 3 rabbit sightings, a squirrel dance, turkey vultures everywhere and the (non-turkey) birds have drained the bird feeder twice.

There are 21 birds in this flock although 2 toms seem to hang on the periphery as well as 3 hens. This might explain why I only thought there were 16 yesterday when they came though. The toms are strutting and the hens are scratching for food and ignoring the toms - not unlike people.

They came back a 3rd time today in the backyard and I could walk outside and get this closeup:

Nice fat birds

All bunched up and posed for the camera

I loved the tail feathers not quite laid back down. This picture was taken seconds after the next one below.

I really like the left on in full side view

It's very hard to get all 21 birds in one shot but here's 9 of them

Got lucky, he stopped right under the whirlygig...
