I was eating lunch and looking out the kitchen window on this dreary November day when suddenly a large bird walked into view. I was stunned momentarily but quickly raced to get my digital camera. By the time I got back to the window there were these three. I confirmed in my Audobon guide that they are female wild turkeys. I know this isn’t the best shot, it was through a window and with a very slow shutter speed without a tripod.
Quite an interesting visit given that Sara and I are getting our first turkey this weekend from a local farm that raises them as sustainably and humanely as possible. We’ve both been vegetarians for many years but the fact of the matter is that locally (and organically) raised meat is far more sustainable than packaged and processed vegetarian substitutes from California.
