November

"November" continues the autumn holiday mania, coupled with male adolescent mischief.  The turkey hens are symbolic of Thanksgiving, and tom turkeys symbolize male virility and pride. These boys are acting like turkeys as other wild animals are engaged in the fall frenzy.  The raven is now in its transitional flight, and three squirrels surround a scorpion - which represents the zodic sign of Scorpio.
