Happy Thanksgiving
Wild Turkey
Since Thanksgiving is coming up, I thought it was appropriate to include a gratuitous image of a wild turkey. This was taken at one of our favorite places to hang out at, Arizona Sonora Desert Museum. The feathers were absolutely beautiful, especially when the light was just right. It was surprising to me how blunt the feather edges were, they almost looked like roof shingles.
Just for fun–delight in watching some fun and fantastic animals as they enjoy their Thanksgiving meals. Or as they try to. This 1 1/2 minute video includes a Cactus Wren trying to break up a piece of kibble to a Great Horned Owl downing his favorite food, a mouse. The ocelot is enjoying a frozen tuna-cicle–it is still warm here in Tucson Arizona for Thanksgiving. We even have the turkey on the video and our favorite, the Costa’s hummingbird. For more hummers, check out our hummingbird video on the Video page in the Gift Shop!
