A large brown bird is walking on the grass in a meadow in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York. This is a Wild Turkey, a bird that doesn’t get enough appreciation. Wild Turkeys can fly, but they spend most of their time on the ground, so they are very wary. When you see a bunch of Wild Turkeys in a field, they are usually hustling away from you, so you don’t get to appreciate how handsome they really are, with bronze-green iridescent plumage.

For the alt #BirdOfTheDay theme #Grass, I offer this proud Wild Turkey. wildadirondacks.org/adirondack-b...

Wild turkeys doing their mating dance outside our kitchen window in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. Those male turkeys sure do have to work hard. The females didn't look that impressed.

A rear view of three male turkeys, tails fully opened in a perfectly choreographed move

A single male turkeys in profile, feathers displayed magnificently, wattle resting comfortably in his chest fluff and the sun showing off his iridescent lower back feathers

Two male turkeys stare at the camera, feathers displayed, beards dangling, judgmental expressions that say I am a magnificent bastard, acknowledge me

three male turkeys, feathers fully displayed. Two of the turkeys face each other in a staring contest, while between then, in the background, a female hen looks over her shoulder with side-eye that screams “ridiculous boys”

"We can make a club sandwich, it uses three breads."
"No,we must do this right,one must go."

When I was done with the goat, I found this one waiting for me to demand hugs. I never thought turkeys were cuddly before the farm. #NewMexico #turkeys #birds
