The ones in my yard don't have their feathers all fluffed like that. I wish they did - that would be beautiful, really - - but their feathers are all flattened. Maybe they're trying to be inconspicuous... heh!<a href="http://www.bnl.gov/bnlweb/pubaf/pr/photos/2001/wild-turkeys.jpg" rel="nofollow">They look a more like this </a> They aren’t as pretty.

THIRTEEN ... wild turkeys just roaming around my front yard. You'd think they'd be a little more nervous than to just hang out and mingle out in plain view like that at this time of year! lol Love the recipe for the cider gravy – will have to try that out – thx!
