After about five inches of rain we were having a very quiet New Years Day with neighbors ’round the woodstove. When the storm broke a bit, we looked out through the clouds and saw a big flock of turkeys. We normally see turkeys pecking for grubs while traveling on their route through our property a couple times a day. Today I counted 37 birds from my desk! We’ve lived here since 1998 and I don’t remember this many at one time in our neck of the woods! Apparently this much-needed rain brought a couple flocks together to celebrate.
A few minutes later five deer showed up and they hung with the turkeys for a few hours together. Such a beautiful view and a reminder about how special Palomar Mountain truly is.
Would you like to meet the locals? Glad to have you come for a visit.
All the best for your New Year ahead!
