flock of wild turkeys

@AshlandAnimals

We had a flock of about ten wild turkeys hanging out in our backyard yesterday. Today’s photo shows most of them. They were bigger than other turkeys we’ve had before.

Dean Creek Elk Viewing Area (Highway 38, Oregon)

We are currently in Seaside, Oregon for the 34th Annual Seaside Beach Volleyball Tournament. Today’s photo comes from our drive to Seaside. We decided to take Highway 38 (between Roseburg and Reedsport) because we never had before. Along the way we saw a couple fields on the left side of the highway (the right side was the Umpqua River) with elk.

To go along with the deer, fox, squirrel, bear, and skunk that pass through our backyard, this morning we had a family of seven turkey hanging out. Today’s photo is of the smallest and cutest of the bunch.

I would have never encountered yesterday’s great horned owl had it not been for today’s bald eagle. We were heading to the bald eagles’ nest when we encountered the owls.

Today I returned to Ashland after a couple nights in Beatty, Oregon. This photo comes from a spot near the Sycan River on Tuesday. I went back to see the owls again on Wednesday and Thursday. See them again I did. However, by the time I had my camera out, they split.

Turdus migratorius

While the models were changing in Lithia Park last week I had a few moments to capture some of the park’s birds.
