Diane and I had a very interesting experience a few minutes ago, as we had a family of wild turkeys in our back yard. As many of you know, we live on the edge of a valley, and at about 4:00 or so this afternoon, a family of 9 wild turkeys came up out of the valley, crossed the road, and into our backyard, where they ate up all the bird seed that was on the ground (we feed the birds several kinds of seed), and then proceeded to our next door neighbors, where they also consumed a considerable amount of seeds. When they apparently had consumed enough, they proceeded back toward the valley, through our yard again, crossed the road safely, and down into the habitat of the valley. I wouldn't be surprised if they again pay us a visit in the near future, being they found food available. Yes, there are benefits to living in Smalltown, USA. Bruce Tolzmann
