Our resident lone turkey hen was back under the feeder pecking, kicking, and scratching to get her fill of seed. We think all the birds communicate because the bluejays come and toss seed out of the feeder for ground feeding birds (like the turkey), emptying the feeder rather quickly.

I pulled the 1.4 extender out to get the shot above but wish I had it for this “mug shot” so I’d have been closer. Turkey’s certainly have a lot in common with turkey vultures (and the names prove it, deep ‘eh?): both are pretty weird looking creatures.
