Son of Ziggy Says…
“There is a reason that we prefer to run instead of fly.”
“As you can see, we just aren’t very good at flying!”

Oh, dear. Did that turkey crash?
He somehow managed to land on his feet!
Glad he landed on his feet. Even though he’s not the best at flying the son of Ziggy is very impressive looking. JH
What is wrong with that ground? It has a very strange green tint.
I love the droll incongruous expressions of your feathered friends. Michigan wild turkeys have been clocked at 40 miles an hour (and no strong tail winds, either – he, he). They are good for about a quarter mile of straight fast flight. I think son of Ziggy might have been showing off some slick aeronautical manuevers for his girlfriends. Kudos to you, Carole, for holding the camera so steady. I would have been unable to do it because I would have been laughing too hard! Thanks for my laugh break – I can always count on you.
Margot, that is why that last photo is so blurry—I was laughing. I never thought that I’d be so easily entertained by turkeys. What’s that saying? Simple minds….
@Ann K.
Ann sometimes the ground also has that same green tint here in Michigan but not all the time.
I never knew turkeys could be so amusing. Our wildlife is much less “outgoing” then their Florida cousins. I spent some time this morning following wild animal tracks in the fresh snow. The fox tracks are especially interesting to follow.
Julie, my turkeys are a rather curious group. They will often come up to the fence line to “look” at Garbo when she is loose in the yard. The older turkeys will allow me to pass through the group within a few feet. Your turkeys are a rather elusive bunch—unless I am in town.
