Randy-
I don't know if sharing pictures of anything that flies in your
locale is really off topic, and I assume the "Turkeys at the airport"
refers to idiots who step on "Do not step" areas of your project.
The quail/Kestrel anecdote is most interesting. A couple of years
ago we had a pair of large birds that I had to research to find out they
were Merlins. Leave it to Rolls-Royce to name their engines after birds
of prey.
What I want to see from our Texas listers is a mama armadillo
walking across their lawn with their little armored vehicles. Instant
Christmas card!

Hey Bill:
Isn't it nice to see turkeys somewhere besides the airport?
I spent the fourth of July weekend at my Friend Sam Welch's place in
Castle Valley, Utah, outside Moab. Castle Valley is named for Castle
Rock (see pic) which is a spire where back in the 60's they helocoptered
a Chevrolet and model atop it and made a commercial with the MixMaster
circling around it filming. Old enough to remember that?
Anyway, it's very lush in the Valley floor where Sam's place is.
Attached ia a pic of a group of Wild Turkeys that live there. The pic
shows five, there were usually six around. We saw them everyday. Also
saw Mule deer does with twin fawns and one with triplets!
A few weeks ago in my backyard was a family of Gambels' quail. They
had 9 chicks. Three days later they were down to 4. I saw a Kestrel
grab one of them. Nature can be very tough, but baby Kestrels have to
eat too. The attached pic shows the four left, look close and see their
"topknots" as already growing. Haven't seen them since.
To make this not off topic, I am sending a pic of Sam's metalwork. We
bend metal and drill holes. Now here is a metalworker! He is a World
Class firearms engraver and has done work for the finest gunmakers in
the world. Not many mistakes allowed in this work. Have to be an
Artist to boot.
Regards,
Randy, Las Vegas
All-
Just shot this lousy picture of the backyard through the screen
window in the kitchen. That's a bona fide Pennsylvania wild turkey hen,
and the arrows point to some of the poults, who are little brown
fluffballs about as big as your fist.
