Turkey Love

Things around the pond during the last two days have been a riot of activity. The place has been a virtual aerodrome. Yesterday we were entertained by three female mallards who spent much of the day chasing each other around the pond. Don’t ask. Three Canada geese were also on site, but that situation quickly dissolved into feather flying warfare in which the third goose was soon the odd goose out, Geese are not only ornery cusses but also very territorial. Four more turkeys dropped by and things wrapped up with a couple more mallards. Today began with a rather embarrassing incident. We awoke to find a male turkey looking in our dining room window, clearly in love with its reflection. It was all decked out its finest of mating garb, spreading tail feathers and all. Again, don’t ask. It continued to woo its reflection and peck on the window for a half hour until it apparently got the message that this was not a pick up prospect. Has to be the worst kind of unrequited love. Gotta admit, I was sorry and a little embarrassed for him. Two more pairs of mallards and and four turkeys rounded out the day. Our resident geese are, of course, still here. Not sure whether to be complemented or irritated. Guess it depends on what I do or don’t step in on any given day.
