Didn't Your Mother Ever Tell You NOT to Drink the Bath Water

We have a flock of wild turkeys that live in our neighborhood.  One day I caught one of the Toms standing on the bird bath drinking.  By the time I got out to take his picture he was on the ground again.  I would say that bath is just the right size for those thirsty birds.

We get a kick out of the turkeys.  The Toms are often strutting their stuff with their feathers all out.  They run so funny and make really goofy noises.  

We also have deer that come around, but a true Oregonian curses the deer because they poop in your yard, eat all of your expensive plants, flowers and grass, and trample things.  I am apparently not a true Oregonian yet because I still enjoy watching out the front window as they come walking by.

So, I would say we have a plethora of wildlife here.  When the kids complain that we haven't any pets I remind them about the turkeys and the deer.
