Possums are so hideous they’re sort of adorable.

My favorite local wildlife is the flocks of wild turkeys that sometimes show up. I’ve seen them sauntering down the street in Richmond from time to time, and earlier this summer I spotted a couple groups of them in my neighborhood.

My husband has never seen them, and thinks I am hallucinating, but there was, at one point, about a dozen turkeys standing all over the lawn down the street, eating stuff out of the grass.

Turkeys are all over Richmond especially near the marina where there is open space.
Out here at Rossmore in Walnut Creek we have roaming herds of them along with the deer and coyotes and some say they have seen a mountain lion or two over the years. 5 a.m. with a bunch of turkeys gobbling outside your window is such a joy. /
