8. Are they wild turkeys? Amazing photos. Wonderful array of critters.

We've had a hawk hanging around a few times, and I hate it. It even sat on the birdbath once when spotted it.

Please, don't add the image of your hawk snacking on a songbird, if you don't mind. I want to see all the bird photos you'd post, but can't handle predators. I can't make room for them psychologically, as I'm completely protective of the little ones.

Critters need all the help they can get. Their world is getting smaller, and bleaker. Hope to see the human race learn to respect the other living beings in this world before it's too late.

Had no idea there were bluebirds where you live. Wow.

On edit:

Looked in google images for wild turkeys. You might want to take a look there!

Don't tell strangers your address, or your back yard might get flooded by a lot of dipsticks standing around back there taking pot shots at these guys.
