This weekend, these wild turkeys came to visit the area behind our trailer as we stopped for the night near St. Regis, Montana, on our way to eastern Montana.
I know there will be a lot of domestic turkeys eaten in Canada over this weekend, as we give thanks for the good things in our lives. These wild turkeys are thankful too (that they are not on our menu).
I know that I’m tasty,
But let’s not be hasty,
I tell you I’m tough to the bone.
It’s one lucky matter
I’m not on a platter,
So I’m giving thanks of my own.
Happy Thanksgiving, Canada!

Ha ha ha ha….Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours on your road trip. Be safe and enjoy the gorgeous scenery. Great pics of the turkeys, and of course your little poem is very clever as well.

Happy Thanksgiving, Sonja. We were so thrilled to see these birds. There were about eight of them and I was able to get quite a few pictures of them. I even got a video but didn’t have any luck uploading it to the blog.

Thanks, Terry. We love coming to Montana. It’s the most beautiful state! My camera’s memory card melts. We had snow last night in the Wolf Point area, and after a couple of hours in the morning, it was gone again. Sure looked pretty with the snow.

Yes, I thought so too. Maybe they had their feathers fluffed up against the cold.

They did! They’re either stupid or brave, and definitely lucky. But so was I lucky to see them.

We rarely see them on the west coast. I saw one small flock on Vancouver Island a few years ago and that was it. Nothing since then.
