Being on the telephone with Mrs. Bush, not the former presidents wife, but the president of the Marble Falls Chapter of the Son’s Of The American Revolution (SAR), looking out my kitchen window, to my surprise, was a turkey hen! Mrs. Bush had just told me that everything was fine with my application, but I cut her off with, “A hen turkey just walked through my yard.” Having my camera handy I took these pictures of her as she walked.
Having collected the cards from the game cameras on this past Wednesday, this gobbler has been hanging around the corner feeder. Being released from the DL I think that I’ll try my hand at this turkey and, no, I didn’t hunt while I was on the DL, but I wanted too!
The beard on the first picture barely shows, but on the second one, the beard shows clearly.
