Wild Turkey Portrait
Filed Under Fall 2009, Turkeys
Benjamin Franklin promoted the Wild Turkey as our national bird. The Bald Eagle won out of course, but what if… The photograph I posted last night makes it easier to understand what a majestic bird the Wild Turkey is. This face portrait leaves us with a slightly different opinion, I think.

Filed Under Fall 2009, Scenics
