My "visitor"

I just ran across this picture and wanted to share it with yall.  Let me set the scene first- it was bright and early one morning.  I went to the window to open the curtains and there staring back at me was this rather large "thing". It was a turkey/chicken.  Weird right? Exactly. I quickly closed the curtain back (because, let's face it, I was pretty freaked out by this thing) I know I live in the middle of nowhere... but this is the stuff I have to deal with??  I decided no one was going to believe me when I told the story about the monster bird at my window, so I grabbed the camera for evidence. When I went back to the window, it was gone. Great. That's when I heard the turkey yell coming from my back door. I went to the back door to find this bird apparently wanting in.  It was there for a couple hours before I got sick of it and let the cat and dog out to chase it off, which they successfully did.  And we've never heard from the monster bird again. (Daniel informed me later it was a guinea hen..?? I probably didn't spell that right)  These hens are very annoying creatures that I hope I never have to deal with ever again. Guess this is just another part of living in the hills!
