Fall is here when the turkeys take to the fields and trails near my home.
They tend to hibernate in the summer (hunker down and reserve their strength) and then come out in full force as soon as autumn arrives.
They tear up our lawns mercilessly looking for their next meal. Not even our coyotes or mountain lions care to stalk them. It seems they have no predators here in Sacramento.
But, as annoying as they are, I still like having them around. They bring in the season.
And as we have another hundred-degree day despite the calendar saying it's autumn, I'll take all the help we can get. The turkeys say it's fall.
Now, Mother Nature needs to actually read the memo.
