I went on a hike last week on Turkey Mountain starting from the YMCA on the northwest side of the mountain. Best deal ever for Y members, free parking, not crowded, restrooms, water and everything else you need.
I went on my hike and as I got back to the Y I saw some wild turkeys. A tom and two hens. I posted it on instagram and facebook and a person I know with Y said the strutting tom was named Gilbert by the staff.
I only had my phone with me and he was keeping his distance so these are the best photos I could get.
In other news, our Pomeranian puppy, Kodi, is really doing well at puppy school. He’s fearless and will try anything, eager to please and scary smart. I don’t know who is training who sometimes.
As you can tell, he’s our baby now.

…that Tom turkey is fabulous, I never get a shot of the tail spread. Have A wonderful week.
Hello,
Nice sighting of Gilbert the turkey along with his family members? Kodi is so cute, I am glad he is doing well with his classes. Great photos. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
Aww to Kodi and his Mom at ‘school’ ~ sweet photo ~ Great photos of the turkeys too. Xo
Wishing you good health, laughter and love in your days,

always bring the good camera on a hike, but the phone actually did pretty well. i have an iphone 12, with the 3 times zoom and it takes excellent pictures. we have turkeys by our Y also, isn’t that funny. i go there often to see the deer!!
what a beautiful dog, i get the feeling he is the boss but that he is well loved!!
That’s a great shot of Gilbert! Kodi’s stance is great, and his little face is so cute!
That was the perfect place to see Turkeys! Love little Kodi too! He’s the star of the post!
Great photos of the turkeys. I’ve only every seen them once in the wild and that was so far away. Fun to see Kodi at puppy training school. Adorable pup!
Gilbert is a great name for the turkey. Kodi is training you too, he’s good at learning because he knows he’ll get a treat. 🙂 He is a cutie and I think he knows it.
I think it cool when the Tom Turkey fans his tail.
Coffee is on, and stay safe.
You captured Gilbert’s most important trait — that strut! A good looking Tom turkey and obviously proud of it!
Lindas aves y su perrito es muy bello. Te mando un beso.
The turkey family is adorable. I love how Kodi is posing for the camera too.
