Four wild turkey females on the prowl for bugs, likely. These four aren't tame, but they are pleasant as can be compared to the posse of males that roams the property. Those fellas are downright mean. I'll try to get a photo of the posse chasing some of the ranch hands if I can. It's quite funny when it's happening to someone else, less so when it's me.
You can tell these are females due to the lack of a wattle, small snoods, and their smaller (compared to a gobbler) head which is a blueish gray compared to a Tom's big ass red, white, and blue head. Their overall size is a giveaway, along with their comparatively drab coloration which is used as camouflage when nesting. These ladies probably top out right around 8-10lbs while the boys get around 20-25lbs.
There's a lot here- emu, cattle (both Brahman and Santa Gertrudis breeds), peafowl, turkeys, deer, nilgai, birds birds birds, and a whole heap more. Even snagged an invite to join a couple of very enthusiastic birders for a weekend bird watching trip. I am excited to go look at some birds with some folks who've been at it a while. This is my first time doing anything other than solo.
Anyway, turkeys.
Edit - just realized the one bringing up the rear is giving me the side eye.
Yeah that's exactly what I was hoping for. I need to kinda work for some of those identifications and so I just miss a lot of stuff. I'm looking forward to getting pointers from a seasoned pro. I'm really enjoying my solo ventures and won't be giving them up, but just being able to see someone else's little ways of telling one bird from a very similar cousin, maybe a couple good spots to go birding, that sort of stuff would be nice. There's no right or wrong way to look at birds but it'll be nice to see how someone else goes about it. It's going to be quiet, and laid back, and pleasant. Im getting myself all excited for it lol
