Three handsome cocks in the oaks

We have a lovely flock of wild turkeys that walk by our house each day. They roost in the trees in the “open space” and migrate each morning to more populated areas. They look nothing like the domesticated turkeys that you see in farmyards. They are slim, streamlined, and gangly. They stroll up the street but will break into a trot if a dog or human come toward them. They can fly, and do fly, to perches high in the oaks and pines each evening.

If you are wondering why they were called turkeys, it is because the Europeans that found them here, mistakenly mistook them for the guineafowl that they the were familiar with, that were imported through the country of Turkey. Just a bit of trivia to share at your Thanksgiving table today.

Four males and one hen. Poor thing!

Indoo.r Cam Focused on Nest Boxes

We’ve had people ask us how we put the images from a camera onto the website for public viewing. As novices, we found it challenging to do and even more difficult to explain. It has taken us awhile to write out a brief explanation of the process that we went through to make our images public and hope you will find it helpful.

We’ve written directions and put the explanation as a “page” or article so that the title will be permanently displayed across the top of the first page of our website. You will find the explanation under Hencam Tech Talk on the menu bar across the top.

I hope this will be of help to any of you wanting to embark on this journey. Please let us know if you have hencams so that we can see your completed project and visit your site.
