Gobble!  Gobble! by juliedduncan

Gobble! Gobble!

I found this turkey feather in the woods last fall while hiking.
I've never seen a turkey feather this close! (My last encounter with turkey was on a plate at Christmas...)

Terrific closeup - Not sure if I knew Turkey feathers really looked this way!

@quietpurplehaze @jmrittle Thank you! We have loads of wild turkeys here in Michigan. They have some of the most beautiful feathers up close - every color of the rainbow depending on where you pluck the feather from. Ha ha.

I'd love to see a shot of one of those wild turkeys as I did not know that they existed.

@quietpurplehaze I'll try to get a shot of one (or a flock) sometime. They are very canny birds, however, and difficult to approach because they are hunted here. It might be a good project for this summer. :) We never had wild turkeys around when I was a kid, but now they're everywhere! Kinda neat. :)
