I love the spring season.
I was enjoying a cool foggy morning at the game lands. The atmosphere created by a fog has always provided me with some feelings in awe. However, once conditions are met the grays can rapidly dissapate.This was the case this morning. As the time climbed to 9:30 any remnants of fog were practically gone.
I saw two turkeys in the fog. I managed one quick shot. Later I saw a hen and had the privilege to watch her dusting herself on an old gas well road. I watched her antics for a good five minutes before I decided to proceed with my walk. She quickly spotted my movements and walked away, slightly confused as to how I managed to get so close without her eyes capturing me!
I witnessed two cottontail rabbits and some squirrels too. Approximately 10:30, I was walking a farming road approaching a field when three gobblers came running towards me. I was trapped! the first one spotted me and stopped at attention. the others stopped two and after a couple of minutes the trio exited back in the direction they came.
I walked a woodland area where I had found some morels in the past. I didn’t find any, but to be fair, sometimes I have difficulty concentrating on the ‘rooms with so much to observe.
I saw a turtle’s head peering from a pond and a couple of carp. I might need to go fishing soon for them.
Yesterday, April 25th, my step father, Bob and I went for a morning walk. We saw about eight turkeys. Earlier I had seen two strutters and three hens and two deer. Yes, I love spring!
