Wild Turkey -- 15 May 2022
I woke up a little earlier than I planned to Sunday morning. But was greeted by an unusual sight.
I know there are turkeys in the area but very seldom to I see one in my backyard. This female wild turkey just strolled right through my backyard.
Wild Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo, ORDER: Galliformes, FAMILY: Phasianidae)

Hi @etcmike, yes that turkey is big, I imagine he is eating the scraps that fall out of the feeders.
