I'm hiding!

I'm hiding! (Meleagris gallopavo)

And I'm not coming out until after Thanksgiving!

This was the closest we got to the wild turkey that trip. They were being very wary. Probably wise the week before Thanksgiving, even if they were on a bird refuge. They might be more approachable after today. Happy Thanksgiving, those of you who celebrate.

LOL not the prettiest of beasties, are they Ann.

A great picture you've got of this shy guy, hiding in the grass. Well done lass.

LOL! This one's a gal. And no, the gals aren't all that pretty. But the guys are actually quite flashy, if still a bit scruffy and wierd-looking facewise. http://www.ejphoto.com/wild_turkey_page.htm
