Our Wildlife

We have a semi-tame pileated woodpecked that we call Johnny, and he flies down close to Pete, even coming to get him, screaming all the way, when the suet feeders are empty. (He even goes so far to bring wife and offspring every year!) He is hysterical. This is him at the suet feeder just outside the window next to the chair where Pete sits. Then along come Pete's (wild) turkeys: Tom, his brother Tom, and his other brother Tom, trying to steal the show! They come running when he leaves the house, hang around here all day, and follow him around the yard like puppies. (There is also their cousin Tom who also joins them here most days.) Who needs television when our days are filled with all of the funny critters who let us share their space?
