For the birds

This morning five gi-NORMOUS wild turkeys prowled around the backyard while Tom tried unsuccessfully to get a photograph. I don't know if they are fattening up for Thanksgiving or if they just had their feathers all puffed out because of the cold weather, but they were huge.

On the way back from Baraboo today, I saw a red-tailed hawk perched on a road sign. They are fairly common in the area, but I got a great close-up view of this one.

Deer season (guns) begins this weekend, and the signs are all there: new Posted - No Hunting signs, hunters out getting their stands set up and the local taverns advertising Male Dance Reviews to lure the ladies into the bars while their men are out hunting.
