I once spied two road runners in the cul de sac and then saw them going into the neighbor's yard, pecking in the flower bed like chickens! I also saw a mama and baby wild turkey in my patio area.. I grew up in a small town and did not see this growing up..or perhaps was oblivious.
LOL...I know I have been oblivious to the varity of birds we have here till just this last few years. We have lived in the house, in the country, for about 26 years, and I had never noticed the Goldfinch till 3 years ago. How in the world could you miss that bird:)...and I'm outside alot...in the woods alot...LOL, talk about oblivious.
