Why has this image become associated with Thanksgiving? Turkeys breed in the spring!
This lovely fellow is in my dooryard. They (he and the females) are very skittish. If I move past a window they cluck/pop off and run for cover. I had to shoot this very surreptitiously.
I can hear him right now, gobbling out in the field behind the house. A Ruffed Grouse was drumming across the road this morning. The thrush are back, and a Northern Parula warbler has been gleaning bugs from my wood pile for several days.
I wish I never had to go back to work. And I am sure no one has ever wished that before.
