Morning Turkey Drama

I spotted 5 Turkeys this morning while getting dressed.

They were going through a gap in the rock wall that Meenah used to take.

They walked along the back fence until they came to the side fence. One of them fluttered to the top of a firewood pile by the fence and then jump-flew to the neighbor's yard. Another of them tried to replicate the feat, but panicked when it landed on some metal pieces which held down the tarp on top of the wood stack, and jumped back into my yard. A bit later, another flew up on the other side of the stack and was fixing to leap to the yard next door, when one of its mates flew up. They both panicked and flew back into my yard. 

Later, three of the four found their way around the fence, where it ends in the side yard. The last one became agitated and backtracked all the way to the fence in the back before it just flew directly over the fence. It then ran hastily to catch its buddies, who were probably in another drama negotiating the fence on the other side of the neighbor's yard.
