Guess who's coming for Dinner
 

10 of these big fat, very healthy looking turkeys took a stroll through the backyard this afternoon.

hahaha..LUNCH!

what a day.. it got more exciting than Turkeys..
 

Well, at least I finally have a definitive answer to the question.. "Does a bear Sh** in the woods?"

The answer is not always.. sometimes in SteveA's yard.

So.. after the turkeys left.. this guy (or gal) shows up

Wow!!! Great pictures. It looks like you got fairly close. Or do you have a great zoom lens!!!
:)

Shot with a 70-300mm lens.. at the long end! :eek: The picture in the yard was taken from inside my sun room, ( I did have the door open). The ones in the woods are along the river that is behind the house. I took lot's of pictures, but most were terrible due to the growing dark and lack of a flash.

Guess who already had dinner?
 

I've got a bear proof trash bin inside the barn so if a bear does get in the barn it cannot get to the trash. That plan seems to have backfired sometime Sunday night or Monday morning. I guess if you can't get in the barn you might as well go through the barn. :rolleye2:

OMG! THat is scary. I have heard how destructive bears can be. I have heard they will break in a house and knock furniture all over even refrigerators!

Yikes - in Meredith???

Yes, in Meredith. It happened a few years ago also, just to the right of where it happened a couple of days ago. I gues I've got to plastic containers in the "bear proof" enclosure to cut down on scent.
