Reflections on the Cocoa Count Local Artist Jim Angy to Speak at January Meeting 2004 Great Backyard Bird Count Progressive Networking Workshop 1 |
Nedra Counts One BirdBy Nedra Sekera I just have to share this with you all and hope you get a little chuckle out of it. When I returned home from the Merritt Island CBC I was greeting my husband and our lab, Buddy, when I noticed these really big brown areas all over our light colored carpet. I tried not to sound too accusing when I asked what happened. My husband said I would never guess in a million years and he was right. It seems that Buddy wanted to go out and when my husband opened the door onto the back porch there was an immediate commotion with terrible sounds and a burst of feathers all over. An unfortunate hen turkey had found its way into our back porch. My husband was finally able to separate the dog and the turkey but not before it had done some really amazing flying feats resulting in much turkey poop which the dog immediately walked in. And of course, tracked through the house. Eventually, the turkey was coaxed (if that’s the right word) outside and except for being slightly bald was in good condition. Buddy has a few feathers to remember the occasion and I have to call the carpet cleaners. |
