Some Backyard visitors

Hello everyone!

Right now we are getting at least five turkeys, two males and at least three females but no younglings or Poults as they call it. I don't suspect we'll get any. As you know we used to have 24 hens and down we're down to three. Whatever happen to the rest? I'm not sure, mostly likely moved on when the winter hit us hard and never returned.

But I wouldn't be surprise if we do end up seeing more turkeys as we approach late summer into fall.

Next our orioles have had their babies; but right now we're having a hard time doing a head count because they come at different times and we seems to have a lot of female as well plus one that is clearly a baby.

Right now our wasps are a huge PEST to us and to our orioles, we are trying to find a way to ward them off better and not using stuff that can harm our birds.

Next we have now identified according to the MERLIN app that we have two Immature Grackles.

Our crows are still visiting as usual, they typically are there right away in the morning waiting for us to put the food out. The yummy treats.

Right now we have one of our crow with a sore of some kind on it's beak that got infected, so we will be keeping an eye on it hopefully it will heal on it's own. 

As for our woodchucks: Lately I've only been seeing one because one will sometimes be out there when I'm out trying to get the food out. Often time he/she been watching me but then walks back to where its sleep. But I've been at least three feet away from it, not that I'm trying to do human connection but it seems like it's not sure what to think or what to do when I'm right there with the food.

And last but not least, we had three different bucks in Buddy's Backyard at once!!!

Here's an earlier picture a few days before we had three at once at our house.
