Great shots of the turkeys. They do look so dignified and stately. And thanks for sharing the letter! I had always heard that Benjamin Franklin thought that the turkey should have been the national bird, but had never heard/read the story behind it. Fascinating!

Neat shots of the wild turkeys.I can never get close enough to get such great captures. Wild turkeys see me and run away, I’m afraid.

Aren’t they GORGEOUS turkey photos! We had one that we raised when we were kids who followed us up to the bus, and when Mom went for a walk, he went up the road with her. When he would “drum” under our picture window, you could feel it in your chest inside the house.

Huzzah! I enjoy watching them, too. They’re all over the place in my neighborhood. My dad was a Navy man in WWII.

I really enjoyed your post today. The photos of the turkeys are amazing and I really appreciated the information about Benjamin Franklin and his thoughts about the turkey. Have a great Outdoor Wednesday.

Great shots of the turkeys! I recently read about Ben Franklin and his being against the bald eagle as our national bird. Fascinating.

Thank you for sharing the pictures and history with us!
