A Female Wild Turkey Visits Our Patio This Morning

Thanks to Tom Munson for correct gender identification.

No time for a tripod to capture her! Unfortunately, the light was poor for a better photograph. We didn't know how long she
would stay, but she has been roaming the woods behind our houses for a while now. Now my wife may have a new
visitor to feed in the mornings! See the next photograph reproduced below.

I think you next purchase should be a turkey call, and see if she would bring in more of her friends for a group photo! Very nice! We are blessed with wildlife in suburban Detroit.

Dan is absolutely wrong, Jennifer. Our turkey is a female wild turkey. See this pbase photo:

Dad:
Dan argues that this is a pheasant. Who's right?

I always get caught without the tripod too !!

Neat capture.
Agree with CIS Live in the wilds of Detroit? What a suprise that must have been. We see them here in the woods but they never come up near the house.

Ok..I'm ordering one of those camo blinds right now. I hope that Turkey realizes that Thanksgiving is next week.

Live in the wilds of Detroit, do you.lol Good grab of something I'd like to see in my backyard. In other words...I'm jealous.:-)

Very interesting sight. I've never seen one of these birds.
