I think they're low fliers, preferring to go from cover to cover. They like woody areas.

We have tons of wild turkeys around our house. They fly up into the trees to roost at night--they kind of have to hop from branch to branch. The farthest I've ever seen one fly, though, was when Zoe ran barking at an unlucky straggler, who gobbled and managed, somehow, to fly over the garage. OMGWTF was that funny. They don't fly so much as take wobbly high jumps.
The drabble challenge is good, but I am completely braindead. Loving the ones posted so far, though.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

So it sort of the like the quail/grouse/pheasant flying preferences? Most excellent.

Except they really don't fly so much as flop upwards, in my experience.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Oh come on, it was right there, making faces. Somebody had to say it.

The drabbles today have been gut-churningly powerful. I love the photo-drabbles.
I just haven't been able to come up with anything yet.

I've got to think. Many of those pictures don't ping me yet. But that happened last time, too. They're like mold, one tiny spore and a whole freaking colony blooms, eventually.

The drabbles have all been fantastic. I haven't had time to write any yet, but you better believe I'm going to ...

In non-drabble news, the trials and tribulations of publishing, example 3,147, courtesy of Toni, my editor's assistant:
Hi, Deborah-
I have here the copyedited ms. of Matty Groves. I'd like to send it to you by FedEx. May I mail it to your home address and will you be available to sign off on it, or should I?
We're asking to have it back by 4/15.
Is there any damned reason on this green green planet why they allow so little time? I told Toni that if she can get it to me before Thursday morning, I'll work on it on the NY flight and hand it to Ruth come Monday. But what is it with publishers?
