If you keep your eyes peeled you can see some interesting things in the winter. I sometimes take a detour on the way to the post office in Leavenworth and spot a small flock of turkeys on the road to the ski hill. I saw them earlier this week in the same place, and later in the week in a completely different location. This particular flock has been around for years, and I have seen them numerous times. There seems to be about a dozen in this group. A couple of days later, as I was approaching my driveway I saw another flock of turkeys. There were about 20 of them. I have never seen this bunch before. They hung around in our side yard, and as I walked along the house to get closer look at them I found tracks clear around the house into the front yard. We have a doe and two yearling mule deer that are in our yard year-round. They are quite used to us, and one even licked a chunk of ice in my hand last summer. I am now seeing other deer bedded down the orchards as the snow has become very deep here in Leavenworth.
