A couple of years ago, I came home to find this young turkey hanging out in the yard, literally a few feet from our picture window. So, naturally, I made a photograph. At the time, I thought it was a little unusual to see a wild turkey in the front yard, but just this morning I read an article in The Washington Post about turkeys hanging out on college campuses and similar safe spaces. I guess our neighborhood must seem pretty hospitable to a wild turkey. Alas, appearances can be deceiving, because today we'll be dining on one of his relatives.
