I could honestly reach out and grab the tame turkey I have visiting my feeder. He walks back and forth in front of the slider until I come out and feed him. I like turkey. Even wild turkey but he is kind of a pet at this point. I dig the humorous synopsis though. Got a good chuckle out of it. Thanks.
hahah i was talking about the bear, yes sir let the turkey live...hes your buddy

The bear hasn’t been around after the 2 nights he ransacked my feeders. He is a different bear from the one that ate all my suet last fall(while I watched from 30 feet away). I am still a ‘live and let live’ weirdo with bears. Coyotes and foxes too. I don’t have a hunting license and am not supposed to shoot my guns in my neighborhood anyway.

My backyard flock don’t seem to care for the renovations the ownership did to the restaurant. Only squirrels seem to be eating at the new buffet. Maybe the architect from Fogey, Fogey and sons didn’t do enough research in feeder design…

What app do you use please? I use Merlin ID for birds(which is a free app from the ornithological society) but haven’t looked for a plant app(did I say I was lazy?). Thanks in advance…

Mrs Fogey and I saw a Leucistic Robin tonight. Some Chatty Cathy we were walking with(or rather she was tagging along bothering me because she can’t shut up) almost made the Mrs miss it. I broke into the one sided conversation to point it out to Mrs Fogey. That was pretty cool for us. No pics but this is what it looks

About 4 years ago, we had a albino sparrow that hung around all summer. He was flighty, but with the binoculars, you could see his little pink eyeballs. Two different neighbors had seen him, too.
Had one (1) deer yesterday. The rest are coming in late after dark for some reason.

We looked for Luke the robin today but it wasn’t around. 2 sets of killdeer though, one with 3 chicks. If you haven’t seen them, the adults are very protective. They will fly up to around 30 ft away and flop around like they are injured and keep moving away to draw you away from their young ‘in’s…

My wife and I are becoming bird brains. We are even getting pretty good at identifying their calls and songs. Still waiting to see the return of last years mockingbirds. Last summer one woke me up in the middle of the night going thru a repertoire of about 10 different sounds over and over. One sounded like a car alarm.
