Whoa, 2 entries in 1 week.

Heidi and I watered and mulched some plants we put in a couple months ago along Arroyo Creek, about a half mile up the road from my house.

We parked, and I noticed a turkey on the lawn, behind the cars, at the house we were at. It's not really unusual to see wild turkeys around here. Just a couple weeks ago while driving to the same place there were two walking alongside the road. I jumped out of Heidi's car and tried to chase them down (it was near the end of the month and my food stamps were running out). They out ran me.

Anyway, we sneak up and there's one male presenting - feathers all up, puffing out his chest, he looks huge - and there are 5 females hanging out around him. His little posse. About 20 feet further there's a young buck standing on his hind legs to get above a tree protector to nibble on the sweet shoots or buds of the tree.

I love my job.
