This is the time of year that we rightfully contemplate the noble Turkey. I don’t believe, but this is subject to correction, that the wild and domestic Turkey were ever called by different binomials.

There is a flock of Wild Turkeys that strut around like they own the place and they might very well be right. After all, there is no hunting and while I watched the turkeys they routed a feral cat that dared come near the flock of twelve which consisted of two tom turkeys and ten hens.

Feral Muscovy Ducks seem to attract many of those epithets. Not only are the individual ducks hard to look at, but in groups, the feral populations create the same messes other masses of waterfowl do. I love turkey vultures, too, so … make of that what you will!) I’ve sent you some shots.

The colorful Purple Swamphen ( Porphyrio porphyrio ) lives in wetlands from Portugal and Senegal all the way east to New Zealand and the Samoan Islands, and a feral population is now well established in Florida. The Gray-headed Swamphen ranges from Turkey through India to northern Thailand. Gray-headed Swamphen.

You may notice a few non-commital “sp” entries and/or a few domestic/feral/hybrid forms. Turkey Vulture (Cathartes aura). I know that we are all looking forward to a time when we might return to the old normal, but until then, please stay safe and keep your distance. Yellow-crowned Night-Heron (Nyctanassa violacea).

Sure, they’re beautiful and powerful, a reminder of the feral freedom of the skies. There are 2 plates for Turkey Vulture and 13 plates for Red-tailed Hawk. I confess, I don’t always love hawks. They’re also confoundingly difficult to identify, the eternal inscrutable spot in the distance.

It seems that these people, who purport to claim to care so much about animals, are completely ignorant of the existence of any animal life beyond horses, cows, pigs, chickens and turkeys. If you, animal lover, have no interest in providing wildlife a healthy environment, then your efforts and passions are brought into question.
