Bad pictures, cool animals

The weather must be getting ready to change here. This morning I looked out and there was a very nice buck by the oak trees. At least and eight-pointer. Two does were with him.

The rest of this day of animals will be told in reverse, because that's the way the photos came up when I loaded them. . . .



And then I turned around and saw this squirrel!




I looked up as I was working and lo, a flock of turkeys. The yard was nearly black with them. I slipped out the back door and watched them move up through the field toward the oaks. I counted 32 birds. It was the largest flock I'd ever seen. This was about 1:30 p.m.



And then I saw these bluejays out the back door! They were much prettier than this picture. The blue was brilliant against the autumn colors.




After I finished exercising, at about 8 a.m., I stood up from my recumbent bike and startled these deer. They saw my shadow through the door and moved, but they did not go far. I took pictures through the window.
