Cool Dude/Birding

Wild turkey walking a trail

When I first saw this dude, he looked like this. Then some female turkeys came along and...

Excited!

he looked like this. It must be spring.

  10. How do you do this? If I see a wild turkey (other than the Wild Turkey Whiskey) it turns and runs. Hmmm...maybe it's my deodorant or lack thereof?

  20. Very nice shots with wonderful detail. (Though I think that's a face only a mother could love.) We came across a spot in California where the turkeys had hung out and found some magnificent feathers they left behind.

  27. Just like a male in the human world. Male behavior is universal, I guess. :) The feathers and markings are so pretty here.
