Here are a few of the wild turkeys that we see a few times each day when they come to wet their whistles at our nature pond. So far, they keep me at a distance and I haven't been able to get a very good picture of them. Who says that turkeys aren't smart?
Later, at the reservoir, I saw a Bald Eagle. It was up high and moving fast. Even though my pic of it isn't fantastic, it is my personal best to date.
Seeing turkeys and Bald Eagles within an hour seems significant, somehow. Benjamin Franklin wanted the turkey to be our national symbol. I do like them, but I am glad that the majestic eagle won out. When I watch one soar to great heights; when I think of how keen their senses and natural instincts are, I agree that the Bald Eagle is the perfect symbol of what our forefathers had in mind for our nation.
