February 14, 2024 On the first day in weeks when temperatures haven’t dipped below freezing, the gobblers spread wings and fan tails for the hens and strut around with blue heads and wattles and snoods as red as Valentine hearts. Forty degrees and the toms think it’s spring.
Congratulations on the fellowship, Ken!! How very wonderful and happy for you! Surely, Dick is smiling down on his student. I loved the snowy high desert photos. Beautiful and unusual. Thank you for capturing the moment.
42! Turkeys are really interesting, but they really can try to take over feeder area. I hope they’ve moved on, and you get to see your other birds again. And congratulations again on the award!
Yes, congrats on the well-deserved fellowship! And for the reference to turkeys coming down to feed in single file. I saw that at the George Walker house in Paradise and didn’t know that it was a thing. Literal pecking order? They walked with a lot of dignity, like orchestral musicians in tuxes entering to take their seats.

Wow, the Yellow-eyed Junco is a truly gorgeous specimen!
Congratulations on you wonderful and well earned Fellowship. We hope this allows continued bulletins from the Big Yard! 👏🏼👍🏽🙏🏽
Congratulations on the fellowship. And thanks for another great post
What an honour! (The Fellowship, not the herd of turkeys 😂) Congratulations 🎉
Some of those turkey photos are really stunning. Again, congratulations on the Fellowship award!
