These were spotted last week, in Spring. Mating season? The toms all had their tails fanned, as you see, but they were behaving themselves … just walking around and grazing.
In the background, sage and juniper. I live in a semiarid climate.

Ol’ Ben and I part ways on this issue for sure.
Glad his view didn’t prevail.

Hahaha do you think it would not be sufficiently dignified to have a turkey on top of our flag poles? I suppose so. I’ve always thought of his proposal as sort of unique and amusing.

Blue ash juniper?
Early in the morning when I start working in the woods I heard turkeys hiding out in the bushes but, do not see them.

Um, maybe. I only know of one kind. Blue berries with a whitish sheen.
