Check Out The Background!

Grazing Ewes, But Look Closely In The Upper Right!
We walked over to look at the progress of the new doors on the Loafing Shed and then went around to look at the sheep.  The ewes started to follow us as I was taking a few "Wild Rose Farm" pictures.  Then we noticed hen turkeys foraging in the background!  They are around enough when the work has been going on, so they didn't immediately scatter when they saw us.
Here they are below the water tank .......... click to enlarge on both pictures.
Hen Turkeys Scratching Along .....
They didn't have any young birds from the spring hatch with them, so maybe there are other groups around & maybe those hens are more cautious .......
