When you've lived in the city your whole life you get used to wildlife like Racoons, Squirrels, and the occasional possum (at least by the lake, anyway). Here in the country there are new species ready to be encountered. Deer, Red-tailed Hawks, and, since we're nearing Thanksgiving it seems rather ironic, Wild Turkey.
We were sitting on the veranda decompressing after the day when all of a sudden there was a loud noise in the woods behind the house and a great big Wild Turkey flew out of the long grass. Scared the heck out of us, because it was particularly quiet just before.
Shortly after, a tabby cat came out of the same tall grass. That would have been one heck of a meal for that little feline.
