Wild turkey on the prowl

Wild turkey

This is a wild turkey - a male one (you can’t see this in the photo, but a draped long feather in the front indicates the male). Him and his buddy (not in the shot) were walking thru the backyard looking for potential females.

The most turkeys I ever witnessed in my front yard were about twenty or so (this is true).

The wild turkey has got to be the most ungraceful bird I have ever seen in my life. It crashes through the woods when flying and when it lands on a branch, it usually breaks.
