I never knew a guy who carried a mirror in his pocket
And a comb up his sleeve –  just in case
And all that extra-hold gel in your hair oughtta lock it
‘Cause Heaven forbid it should fall outta place

Oh-oo-oh, you think you’re special
Oh-oo-oh, you think you’re something else
Okay, so you’re Brad Pitt

That don’t impress me much
So you got the looks but have you got the touch
Don’t get me wrong, yeah I think you’re alright
But that won’t keep me warm in the middle of the night


– Shania Twain

The gentleman and two ladies above visited our front lawn yesterday. Wild turkeys are permanent inhabitants in our community, but this gang was unusually bold. He was cruisin’ and no dumb blogger with a digital camera and a mongrel in tow was going to stop his show. The ladies, alas, seemed underwhelmed by the display. Now if only he had a good sense of humour…

    WHAT LUCK! I’ve never been able to get this close to wild turkeys. Thanks.

    Later… well, an hour after pondering your wild turkeys, and thinking about how I hadn’t seen one in at least 12 years, a friend drove me over the mountains to check on my crippled car at the mechanics’, and just before the top of the pass, walking on the side of the road–a wild d*mn turkey. In the mountains! Holy moly. How can we doubt.And another thing–who is that guy in the new portrait? (very cute!)

    Your pictures are wonderful! Remarkable birds. Unfortunately, a very distinct bird to identify – a Thanksgiving Icon. Around here (Oregon) they (hunters) have great fun killing them.http://www.big-k.com/hunting.html
