NO! No way - I know how the real turkey looks: I buy one every year for Thanksgiving from the nearby grocery store!!!!

Hi Bert. We have lots of Cardinals all year. They are around the most in early morning and late afternoon. They really "pop" when there is a bunch of
snow.

These are great - I appreciate seeing them. Where I grew up a million years ago (North Carolina/Florida US) we had these and we also had Blue Jays. They were everywhere. Where we live now (Washington, US) we don't have either one.

One thing I've noticed as I get older are the things I find that I miss and things I've taken for granted. We have a bunch of different birds up here that we didn't have there had so it's a trade off, but Cardinals have always been a favorite.

Thanks for showing them.

Yes, I think we all have things we have taken for granted. I can help you out with Blue Jays.
