These Rio Grande turkeys were spotted about ten miles from my house.
The one closest the camera is a tom, and his beard is visible. When I was a child, it amazed me that the beard grows from under his neck.
It's unlikely I'll look out my window and see a wild turkey, but it happens occasionally.
I enjoy hearing the gobblers, even if they wake me up on a morning I plan to sleep in. It's rare for a flock to venture close to my house, but sometimes it happens.
