Ben Franklin's Favorite Bird

Ben Franklin wanted the wild turkey to be the national bird but the bald eagle won. Here at the farm the turkeys are hard at work out in the pasture. They work the old cow patties for fly larvae, grubs, and undigested seed. The turkeys scratch up the patties which causes them to break down faster. They are fun to watch as they fly low through the woods and walk across the road with impunity.

The first snow has come to the Uplands. It is wet and cold outside making the fire very inviting.
