Guests for Dinner

September 15th, 2008 by Jill Hall

Look who, or what, showed up out the back window on Saturday afternoon?

Only about half of this flock of turkeys show in this photo. This flock has been making regular “rounds” about the museum lately. I’ve seen them a few times mid-morning in a field in the 1627 English Village; once I surprised them crossing the main driveway at dusk.

Wendy got this photo; one of the neat things about seeing this flock in person is you can see the “teenagers” among the adults. This year’s chicks are about half the size of the adults and not quite completely feathered. They look gangly, all legs, and kind of awkward. Well, sort of like teenagers.
