A face only a mother could love.

My lunch time visitor. She had sunflower seeds, and I had a peanut butter and banana sandwich.

[Rick Schies]

Oh it's been a while since I had a peanut butter and banana sandwich. I have been seeing quite a few wild turkeys this year.

[승준(seung jun)]

one of a kind, really a pretty one

[KathyD]

I have still never seen one in the wild....they are around here though. I will keep looking. Nice capture!

[Margaret Tryon]

@digitalrn Rick, I have seen quite a few in our area, but this one came alone and stayed about and hour just eating or sitting. So I now have a hundred turkey pictures. :-)
@seungjun Thank you for your kind words.

[Carly jean]

LOL....great capture!

[Robin]

Nice to see a wild turkey. Ours are very different. We only see these in poultry pens.

[TPiix]

@girlie lol, we have heaps of scrub turkeys in brisbane robin, well they'd be best to fly at the moment with all the flooding ...

[Kerri]

Awesome capture!

[Katrina Cristy]

lol, cool shot! His head is so small for his body...reminds me of Beetlejuice for some reason. haha

[jennylee]

Yikes! You're right! Cool capture!

[Susan]

The feathers are so clear, & I can almost reach out & touch the bird.

[Diana Horn]

Great capture. Seems unusual to me to see it sitting on the snow. I wonder how they survive the cold weather in the wild.

[Lynn M. Watson]

Ooooh, lucky you! I love these guys!

[Pamela Mandeville]

Oh, I could love it - nicely roasted....sorry....:)

[Barbara Warner]

Great detail!

[Alecio]

I love the title, so true, and the shot is very nice!

[oselleso]

Interesting picture ... good job!

[aikiuser (jenn)]

[Emer Hyland]

[Fiona Kierans Dunne]

Nice shot! I think she looks lovely :)

[Geertje K.]

I think this is a great capture, but I don't think she's pretty... But I think she is really interesting.

[Lisa Fischer]

nice shot

[Pauline Smith]

He/she is rather cute!

[Carole Mattingly]

Nice shot. I have only seen these in the distance in the wild. They are interesting birds. I lik the way her brown feathers contrast with the white snow.

[elkehochban]

Interesting lunch date!

[Marinade Spatula]

reminds my of my ugely turkey - they are irresistible!

[Linda Molnar Smith]

Poor cold thing, I actually feel bad for it!

[Michelle Johnson]

Nice capture! I'm not used to seeing them standing still. I had one that used to follow me down the walkways at work in camp.

[Angie Vega ☮♥ シ]

awesome capture...

[Jonna]

She isn't the most beautiful bird (love your caption!), but you got a great shot of her!!! Hope she's able to stay warm...

[Pyrrhula]

I do to. Beauty is only in the eye of the beholder.
I love the pic. ...and the bird
Did she enjoy dinner?

[Carole Neesam]

Thanks everyone for the kind words. I do appreciate them. Does anyone lose track when they are trying to reply to people. I hope I got everyone.. :-)

[aikiuser (jenn)]

@maggie2 haha, i know what you mean. sure do wish sometimes that there was a "reply all" choice! ;-)

[Pamela Mandeville]

@aikiuser exactly what I was going to say. Maybe we can bombard the powers that be...just kidding

[Elaine]

Great shot. Never seen a wild turkey just wondering around.

[molizard]

Nice pic. I'm quite fond of PB & banana sandwiches.

[Margaret Tryon]

@lainie Elaine, I live in a wooded area and we often have turkeys. They are pretty funny animals. Thank you for your kind words.
@molizard Thank you. I am a fan of the PB & banana sandwich.

[Ellen E]

how awesome that you get to share a lunch hour!

[Margaret Tryon]

@ellen It was Ellen. I love animals and enjoy whatever visitor comes to my yard.

[Paula Fontanini]

Oh come on she's cute in a homely sorta way! Love this picture and yes I think it would be great to have a group reply! :)

[Margaret Tryon]

@bluemoon Paula, I think the turykeys are very cute. I love the feather detail. Thanks for your kind words Paula

[Bugik]

Lovely! And looks like she's really waiting for you to hand her a taste of your peanut butter and banana sandwhich. Yum! :-)

[Margaret Tryon]

@bugik They are so shy. I have to hide when I take pictures of them and if I make a noise they run. This one ran three times when it heard my camera, then would come back.
