Birds don’t count as animals?

🪶 Bonus content: never get tired of this trick, they can make their entire head disappear if they get cold

A wild turkey tom on some brown grass. He’s withdrawn his head into his plumage, so there’s just a whorl of feathers where his neck should be. We’ve got a big storm coming, so this is their version of hunkering down.

🪶 I think this lad (the Bruce) has the pox, he don’t look so good

A wild turkey tom standing on some brown grass. He’s got brown spots on his head, like a rotten fruit. You can’t tell that well from this angle, but his head is pretty swollen, too.

🪶 First frost lads

Three wild turkey toms in a driveway. It is morning, the sun is low and behind them. Tons of pine needles on the driveway, yes yes i promise i’ll rake them up this weekend. One of the toms is kind of blurry and looks startled, he just got pecked in the bum by another Tom behind him (there were 5 lads in total this morning), so he’s caught between being pecked from behind and a human blocking his way.

🪶 Bizarre Turkey Triangle

Seven wild turkey toms standing in a triangular formation, like bowing pins. It is pouring rain. One seems kinda smart and has his head under a bush. Tree line in background.
The title refers to an old New Order song from 1986, Bizarre Love Triangle; in case anyone under 50 has questions. It’s a great song, go seek it out.

Ages ago i used to answer phones for the state for some license verification line, lots of out-of-state calls. These were the ones most often screwed up:
Worcester
Stoughton
Billerica
Peabody
Reading
Athol
Weymouth
Woburn
Leominster
Haverhill
Methuen
Scituate
And Carlisle

Now do Billerica

My main experience lies with turkeys, but i think a lot of animals know instinctively that (most) dogs will die for you. They will absolutely sacrifice themselves to mess up whatever is threatening you. Turkeys aren’t scared of cats, but they’ll run even from the smallest dogs.

🪶 Driveway moment.

Three wild turkey toms in a driveway. As seen from above (i was on some steps and held the phone high over them). They are milling around uncertainly near a large patch of thyme that grows in the walkway.

Two yankee fan jabronis wrestling a caught ball away from mookie betts (on the Dodgers by then). They look like a couple of dumb, drunk cartoon villains

What, you’ve never heard of the Boston Lump?

They also like cemeteries. Quiet, usually big old trees that can support them, lots of grass and plantings to hunt for bugs etc. But they can make it anywhere as long as there’s a bit of grass.

West Oakland has a feral turkey population and if you, a relative newcomer, point this out to someone who's lived here a while they'll be like "yeah of course why wouldn't we"

2 huge turkeys on a city sidewalk. They have their fancy feathers on

Today, in #MyWildlife:

I just looked out the window from my spot on the couch to find Helen eyeballing me from the edge of the gully.

I think we may have a new member of the Nighthawk Hill menagerie. 🤔😍🦃

Photo of a single female wild turkey sitting on the branch of a pine tree. She has her head turned sideways, looking at the photographer. Behind her is a canopy of green pines with dark mountains in the distance beneath a grey sky.

She was still happily roosting at 8am.

Definitely unsalted— and good tip on the bread!

I sing to them all, so no worries there— I’ll remind her she has a good home to return to.

There are turkeys and vultures at the cemetery! I see the Wild Turkeys fairly often!

Wild turkeys have been outside my window for some time now. Mama knows I'm here, been keeping an eye on me as they preen. I'm just sending safety signals, softly letting her know what an honor it is that she trusts me. (Alt later.)
