Passing Through
The other day Dan and I had just sat down to lunch when we heard our rooster send out an alarm. Those of you who have chickens and roosters are familiar with this, and also that not all alarms sound the same. Some of them are just alerts for the hens to know a human or a cat is approaching the area. Others are more urgent, such as when a hawk is somewhere overhead. Dan and I have learned to heed these alarms, and if something doesn't sound quite right we check it out.
This time Dan got out to take a look. Within seconds he called me to come see.
It was a wild turkey passing through the yard. This is only the second wild turkey we've seen on our place since we moved here. Every single homestead critter stopped to stare at this odd, lone bird. None of them knew what to think except Meowy. It didn't matter that it was twice as big as she is. She immediately took off after it and chased it away.

And that's the wild critter report.
