Turkey in my tree!!

So, Easter morning, I get up early to get my tired butt ready for church (out too late the night before with my Des Moines posse!). I let the dogs out the back door for their morning peep, and lo and behold, there's a friggin' HUGE male turkey in my neighbor's yard!!

The turkey is startled by the dogs and runs into the neighbor's deck fence... bounces backward a few feet, then makes the most UNGAINLY flight up over her house, veers north and lands in my pine tree!!!!

There he sat for the next 45 minutes until I left for church. My Easter miracle!
