Happy Turkey Day

What better way to celebrate the US Thanksgiving holiday than with pictures, maybe, of Wild Turkey? Unfortunately, as suggested by these real, unadulterated iPhone pictures, the local Wild Turkeys appear to be using some sort of electronic jamming system, or perhaps hypnotic transmission, to thwart hunters/photographers. Or something like that.

All kidding aside, here’s some lucky/nice shots from last Saturday at Presque Isle State Park, in a lull in the rain along the Long Pond Trail. (‘Lucky’ = ok weather + brief flurry of bird activity.)

With winter coming, great to see Winter Wren:
