Below the longleaf pines, in a thicket: ten turkey eggs. Mama turkey flew up in a tree. Turkeys lay one egg a day, so it took her ten days to deposit those.

Landscape

The dogs found them. Honeybun made off with another egg in her mouth. Blondie covered the getaway.

Portrait

We will lead the dogs astray from that nest for the next month, until the eggs are hatched and the chicks are fledged.
