Animals by the Pond

I've seen more interesting animals in the forest by my house.

First there was a coyote trotting through the forest at the edge of the pond. I didn't even know we had coyotes in Minnesota but that definitely explains some wierd howling and barking that I've heard at night.

Second, we saw a mother deer and her baby deer walk through the forest. We've seen them many times now. They must live in the forest just beyond our home. But this time they were followed by a wild turkey! The turkey looked like he was just casually strolling along behind them, la dee da, like he was with some friends. He was a big turkey. Didn't look terribly clever.
