It's a lovely day to enjoy being outside.

Normally it's a mid-April to mi-May bloomer.

What is Ajax watching?

A clue is the poop by her tail.

Can you see it?

Head popped up. It's a female turkey.

She's been hanging out the past two or three days.

Someone else is watching.

All the birds flew off when it flew in.

A Cooper's Hawk.
