Wild Turkeys in Allendale

IMG_6043-3
A female Wild Turkey has been hanging around backyards in northern Allendale for quite a while now, eight poults in tow. Occasionally mistaken for a unicorn, but not often.

Sally Wiegand reports that "four of the young ones were trying to get in the birdbath at once this a.m. — Ken had to refill it twice!" (see photo below.)

Thanks, Sally!

(P.S. Stephanie Seymour reports 10 poults and their parents in her yard in Englewood this a.m. Link is here.

    What a handsome(?) portrait! Feathers? Who needs feathers! Reminds me of when the Invisible Man married the Invisible Woman. Their kids were nothing to look at either.
