Backyard Gobblers

[Water Rat]

I managed to get a few (blurry) photos of the gobblers in my back yard yesterday afternoon. I heard them gobbling while I was doing yard work. I still have a tag left , but it would be illegal to discharge a firearm or bow with houses all around me. They sure are making it difficult for me to do the right thing.

I envy you, I'd love to have that in my backyard.  Maybe someday............

Now there's where the gobblers have been all season. Guess I need to build me one of them bird feeders to a least see a jake or gobbler LOL.

Used to be a flock by the "dome" Water tower behind Amherst middle, but that was years ago. Ive recently seen them on getzville milling around daemen college one was a nice long beard.

Ha!

 

You reminded me.......We had a hen in the yard here about ten years ago then another time a jake was chasing two hens around the front yards!

 

A hen nested over behind the nursery at Harlem and Saratoga for a few years too.   Another time I called in three adults for fun off Park Club Lane.

 

Still no gobblers gobbling in my yard though.........

My mom lives on Park Club, there are some monster bucks over there. She's sent me pics of turkeys in her parking lot too

I've seen turkeys roosting behind Daemon College along Getzville Rd. Years ago, they make a living hitting all the bird feeders in the back yards from Main st to sheridan dr.

Had this bunch of long beards spend the winter out in back of my place a few years ago, the wife would clear a little patch of snow on the ground and put out some corn for them and they would come down off the hill and eat it every day.
