This morning's visitors

This family has been hanging around our neck of the woods for weeks. Today the parents and at least six offspring ventured onto our lawn... several times. Unfortunately, it's a dark day and  misty. This is the best photo I could get, and even with enhanced contrast, it's kind of hard to make out the details. Think of it as an Impressionist take on turkeys.
