Guess the Critter

A lollipop goes to the first person who can tell me what kind of animal is in the first photo? Now, NO peaking at the second photo, that would be cheating! I'll give you a hint, it's circled in red and it's NOT a fan of the upcoming holiday...


If you give up page down...

We noticed three of these birds walking through the next door neighbors yard and proceed to cross our busy street just before dark. Then all of a sudden two of the three came flying back across - something spooked them. You really need to see these birds flying to truly appreciate just how easy they make it look for such a large bird. You'd think they wouldn't be too agile when it came to flying, however, they're very much like a peacock, very deceiving.

One of the two kept right on flying into the woods behind the neighbor house and we lost sight of it. The one in the picture took a different approach and went up, landing in this dead tree. As you can see he's up there, higher than the roof of the house. We kept an eye on him till dark and we couldn't see him any longer. It appeared that he decided to roost there for the night and was long gone come morning.

The answer is: a wild turkey
