Of course that lunch stop at the new Kwik Trip at Nodine set us back a few minutes too!<br /><br />Hi Jayne,<br />At one of the places I used to work they had a couple of guinea hens too. Noisy birds they were, but fascinating to watch (just like turkeys!)<br /><br />Thanks Mom. The time sure went by fast on such a nice day.<br /><br />Thanks Lynne. It's such a beautiful area with all the wooded hills and open valleys. I wonder if that deer didn't get nicked by a passing car? Or a leftover injury that was the result of a hunter's poor aim? It's not always nature that's cruel, but definitely nature that suffers....<br /><br />Thanks Ruth. I would still love to attract turkeys to my backyard someday...they're so much fun to watch. Hopefully our weather will moderate soon and that poor little deer will have a better chance to survive.<br /><br />Retirement spot indeed, Mama Pea! There was a 45-acre parcel for sale right along the road we were driving on, but not sure if we need or want that much acreage (although it sure would be nice!)<br /><br />Seeing injured deer always breaks my heart too -- especially when it's probably the result of human actions.<br /><br />It sure is different Deb, and I really notice the difference in terrain the closer we get to the Mississippi. There are some roads I've driven on in Houston County that really remind me of driving through the hills of West Virginia. It's very beautiful country!RuthieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663411478574192825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854762792778878452.post-20618984115886689922010-02-01T12:57:44.921-06:002010-02-01T12:57:44.921-06:00SE MN is so different from the rest of the state. ...SE MN is so different from the rest of the state.

It would be about impossible, and we have to let nature take its course, but you sure do hate to see a beautiful creature like that suffer.<br /><br />Back to a lighter note, really gorgeous scenery you showed us.Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854762792778878452.post-32401714291486060002010-02-01T08:11:44.530-06:002010-02-01T08:11:44.530-06:00I have seen many wild turkeys this winter and they...I have seen many wild turkeys this winter and they make me think of you.

(I got that info from a map at the Pope and Young museum in Chatfield) On my limited experience it seems the goldens start moving around ten and knock off for the day about three. To identify them they need to be flying or you have to be really really close. Not to likely that second part. :)troutbirderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087811292280881959noreply@blogger.com
