Super Duper Snoopers and the Mystery of the Gob! Gob!


Happy Monday!

Krumbs and I woke up to a brilliant mystery this morning.  Walking past the front window, I heard Gob! Gob! Gob! coming from the yard outside.   I couldn’t imagine what it might be….what would make a whole string of quiet, calm sounds, over and over?  (I didn't know what it was, but it could sure keep a beat!)  Krumbs and I were intrigued-the Super Duper Snoopers were on the case!

We looked out the window, but all we saw was scattered bird seed under the bird feeder, some squirrels and a wily chipmunk trying to squeeze under our garage door.  Nothing unusual there, but we heard the sounds again—Gob! Gob! Gob!  We were not going to be scared off.  The Super Duper Snoopers were on the case!

We went through the house and out the side door.  Now we could sneak around the side of the house for some surprise snooping.  Slowly…slowly…slowly we crept to the corner of the house.  Grasping Krumbs collar, (He would keep me safe in an emergency, right?) I prepared to peek around the corner.  Krumbs pushed up next to me.  Together we carefully snuck a peek and there, standing right in front of us was…NOTHING!!!!!

Did the Super Duper Snoopers give up?  Did we walk away?  No way!  As fast as you can say “Super Duper Snoopers face a really big blooper”, we tiptoed across the front of the house and snuck around the other side.  That’s when we solved the “Mystery of the Gob! Gob!”…two wild turkeys stood staring at us from the safety of the trees!  Check out this cool pic by Steve Maslowski for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and you can see what Krumbs and I saw this morning:


So that’s how the Super Duper Snoopers solved the "Mystery of the Gob! Gob!" on a sleepy Monday morning.   Are you looking for another mystery?  Check out “TheWhispering” by Carol Waszek at the Café.  It’s a great mystery that happens inside the house!
