WILDLIFE

One of these groundhogs lives in a burrow in the shed under Drew's old car, I can look out my bedroom window and watch him come out and sit between the shed and the house and eat clover. We don't know how many of them that we have but they don't bother our garden and they are really cute to watch. We have found their burrows in a few other places but it seems they prefer the west side of the farm.


This the part of the flock of Wild Turkeys that come and go through our back yard every day during the cooler months. Luckily for them we raise our own turkeys to eat. Never liked the gamey taste of wild animals. These guys are huge though.
We have been able to keep these guys out of our garden this year, Clay put up a really good animal proof fence. But these little guys we see almost every day in the morning time in our driveway near the house.
The entire list of animals so far that we have seen on our farm. Only the dog, chickens, rooster, guineas and our 5 turkeys have we put there. We used to have a terrible time with stray cats but over time they have all seemed to have moved on.
