Welcome to Saturday Sparks 628!
Starting off todays party with a flock of wild turkeys!
Severe thunderstorm alerts are commonplace this time of year and we had several the other day.
We are able to watch the storms roll in from the ridge and I was doing just that when I spotted this gaggle of turkeys and their babies.
They have been visiting off and on since May.
The babies have grown so much.
They normally stay hidden in the meadow, so it was a real treat to see them out in the open.
They must have sensed the storm brewing as they were making a run for the woods
One quick snapshot and they were gone.

It' so hot in my part of the country that those yogurt bars look so enticing. Thank you for hosting! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteHope you get a break from your hot weather, Angie! Sending you cool wishes ~ Suzanne.
DeleteAwe the baby turkeys are so sweet. We see deer and other animals daily but I've only seen turkey's in our yard one time in over 25 years. Thanks so much for hosting and I hope you have a fabulous weekend.
ReplyDeleteYes, they are sweet Maria! It's been fun watching them grow. Wild turkeys are pretty common in our area. Enjoy your deer and wildlife visits. Have a great week ~ Suzanne.
DeleteWe used to see wild Turkeys in Montana, they were beautiful! But so far none have been spotted (by me anyway) here in Texas. Great features this week, thanks for hosting. I appreciate it, Melynda @scratchmadefood!
ReplyDeleteGlad you were able to enjoy them in Montana, Melynda. They are pretty comical to watch. Hope you get a chance to see them once again. Many smiles ~ Suzanne.
DeleteWhat a stunning view! And so wonderful you were able get a photo of the turkeys.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michelle! We enjoy our ridge-view, but the wildlife visits make it that much more special. Wishing you a lovely week ~ Suzanne.

Thank-you, Slabs! Sending you much sunshine ~ Suzanne.
DeleteWild turkeys, they sure get big! Have you ever seen them fly? Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYes, I have seen them fly Debra! They look very strange flying as they are so bottom heavy. They roost in trees at night, so we will watch for them as the dusk settles in to see them take off. It's a sight to see, that's for sure. Happy July ~ Suzanne.
DeleteWild turkeys are so pretty! Thank you for sharing their photo! 'Great party! -Marci @ Old Rock Farmhouse
ReplyDeleteYes they are, Marci! These ones are pretty skittish and keep their distance. This photo was a rare capture that I suspect won't happen again anytime soon. Hope your week is filled with smiles ~ Suzanne.
DeleteThat is such a beautiful pic. Thanks for hosting and I hope that you have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Patrick! Wishing you a wonderful week ~ Suzanne.
DeleteHi Suzanne, I commented when I linked up on Friday! I guess my comment went poof! Thank you for hosting your lovely party each week! I hope you have a wonderful week, my friend!
ReplyDeleteI love your lead photo of the gaggle of turkeys and babies!
Thanks, Pam! Sorry your original comment must have fallen into the abyss. Hope your week is filled with sunshine and smiles ~ Suzanne.
DeleteWe live at the beach so wild turkeys aren't a common sight, but sometimes if we're lucky they do wander into our neck of the woods. You live in a beautiful area. It's no wonder why they call it home!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kim! How nice that you live at the beach. I imagine you see plenty of creatures that would never wander our way. Wishing you a lovely week ~ Suzanne.
DeleteThanks for featuring my baskets post! By the way, I love turkeys. How fun to watch!
ReplyDeleteHappy to feature you, Amber! Turkeys are odd little creatures and yes, they are fun to watch. Many smiles ~ Suzanne.
