A Patriotic Turkey
The other day as I pulled into my yard I saw 3 female turkeys and this big old male strutting through my yard. The females were harder to capture as the kept darting off towards the woods every step I took in their direction them. But this big old Tom Turkey took his sweet time. Although he could hear me walking towards him he never moved faster, he just kept showing off his tail feathers and moving with purpose (so it seemed) towards the woods. His face and neck were red, white and blue hence why I call him a Patriotic Turkey.
Today is Memorial Day here in the USA and I thought it fitting to share my Patriotic Turkey.
Thanks for visiting!

B. Franklin suggested the turkey as the USA national symbol, to this is a good choice for the day. 🙂

I am glad they went with the eagle. Looks more fierce.
