This Wild Turkey hen stopped performing the moment I rounded the corner. There were no poults in sight, but frequently this time of year, when a hen is spotted, the tall grass surrounding her quivers from the excited movement of her brood. Meleagris gallopavo

  • Love the legs on your Rockette. Is she a fan dancer? That wood pile makes a fitting stage.

  • The last time I hiked Tennessee Valley, a relative of this one was there, with two males spreading their tails and strutting around. This shot gives her a rosy glow but the Marin bird looked quite grey.
