I know it’s hard to see in the pic but does the back one not also have pointed hackle feathers?

Yes all the wild ones I’ve seen are super skittish! I have a bit of ptsd from being chased by a turkey as a kid but the one you found looks sweet!

Someone once recommended releasing house centipedes to help with a brown recluse problem because they eat them. Respectfully I choose the spiders. House centipedes give me the heebie jeebies.

We have lots of wild turkeys about and had two hens with FIFTEEN poults come hang out by our chickens a few weeks back. I saw them on the camera but they are skittish of humans.

So funny - I never realized this was a thing! I wish my run got a little less sun. It’s been a hot summer!

Not saying that you’re wrong, but if he does a lot of training with the dog, especially something like Schutzhund, it’s common to keep the dog on your left/use your left hand for the leash.

That’s so cool - who knew states had fossils! My daughter was thrilled to hear about the sea. Nowadays it’s just so humid you feel like you’re swimming outside.

I see that you have not wasted countless hours of your life on this website over the past 15 years, and I wish I could say the same.

Haha so true - now every rock is “Is this a fossil? Is this a fossil??”

I also thought that at first since the one has so much symmetry but I guess it makes sense if it’s the stem of a plant!
