I know I've been talking about Birds for quite a while...
but that's understandable if you live where I do!!!
Now your guess is as good as mine. It sort of looks like a baby bird
in a feathery, slipper... Not. Some kind of a duck for sure, getting lots of
new feathers.
Then I spotted these babies... definitely ducks!!!
She's giving them directions!!!
"Come on babies, I'm going to teach you how to swim.
If you follow close behind me, it will be easy as you will
be able to "draft" in the "wake" I create." (I bet she enjoyed
the Indy 500 and learned these new "drafting" skills.)
We've seen lots of baby birds around here, but yesterday afternoon
we saw this in a neighbor's yard. Looks like it's getting walking lessons.
Introducing a female wild turkey and her very new baby!!!
(We've never seen a baby wild turkey before.)
With my i-phone in hand, Don and I headed out in pursuit.
Mama noticed us right away and headed for garden foliage.
Baby said, "Hey Mom, is this what you mean by take cover?"
(Remember you can click on any photo for a closer view.)
She quickly responded: "you've learned your lesson well", as she
checked out the surroundings.
Then she let baby turkey know that the coast was clear.
Hey Mom" I feel like flying, but these wings don't
seem to work yet".
"Don't worry, just smile for the camera!!!)
"WOW - this is lots of fun, but I need a nap now."
