Another collection, which at times seems like controls me, are barnyard

My suburban-born daughter just spent a few days visiting some people
in rural North Carolina. Previously, she had not been near any turkey
that was not on a plate or in a sandwich.

She was absolutely amazed watching a tom turkey. She brought back
many pictures of the wattle (is that the right term?) in various
stages of color. It changes from gray to bright red depending on the
turkey's disposition. This particular tom was like an outdoor
housepet, and followed her around like a puppy. I guess he liked
being on camera.

It is claimed that turkeys are not too bright, but my daughter claims
that the guinea fowl makes the turkey look like a genius.
