50,000. I'd heard we had turkeys, but like the raccoons, I figured mostly on the edge of town.

The first little one came around the corner and I thought it was an adult quail which are common to see anywhere here. I was just thinking something wasn't right about the several "quail" when the big hen came around the corner. I froze so I wouldn't spook them and they came a little closer. Pretty cool seeing them up close and when I did start to move, they weren't worried about me at all.
