Don't worry, the turkey in the photos was not part of Easter dinner! We were outside on Sunday, getting some yard work done, while dinner was in the oven. I came out the front door, looked up and was surprised to see a turkey in our front yard. She was the strangest looking turkey that I've ever seen. If you don't know what wild turkeys look like, they are primarily reddish brown and black with a splash of white. Look how light she is! 
And she wasn't afraid of us. It was almost like she was raised by humans. I ran inside to grab my camera. Then I ran into the garage to get some sunflower seeds. She didn't like them. So I went inside and got a piece of bread. Bingo! She ate the bread out of our hands. She hung around for a while, then crossed the road and disappeared into the woods , with the rest of the turkeys. One of the many, many reasons that I love living in rural Tennessee. Until next time.....
Monday morning update: I'm beginning to wonder if this is a domestic turkey. This morning she showed up with two Guinea hens. I'm going to have to post pictures on flickr. No one, and I mean no one, around here has chickens or turkeys. Hmmmmmmmmm~
