   LOL Mon@rch!!! Your photos are great – it’s awesome to see the turkey’s head so close in the first one. Yowsa on the second one – looks like it’s very ticked off! Even so, I love the little hairs sticking straight up.

   I wonder what purpose that pointy sticky-up forehead thing serves? Is it something the girl turkeys find cute?

   Love these photos. Turkeys are never boring to look at, and the closer you get, the more fascinating they become.

   BTW, your blog is excellent. Great look, graphics, and content.

   Lynne – That is called the snood and gets larger once they get closer to the breeding season. I guess females thing they look good!! I think it looks like a big zit!

   Mike – welcome to my world and thanks for such kind words. They sure are fascinating, thanks!
