My problem with this creature is that his eye makeup is melting and running down his face. Give him a tissue!

what a beautiful boy. he looks so proud and noble. It does kind of look like he's got a fuzzy nightcap hanging over his beak, though.

Mike of 10,000 birds sent along these photos he took of a wild turkey tom (Meleagris gallopavo).
The loose, knobby, colorful skin that enshrouds this bird's head and neck is bad enough. But I just now noticed the little tuft that caps that flap of skin that dangles off its beak. That's just about too much for me.
I recommend you visit 10,000 birds. Those folks are avid birders and conservationists (very entertaining too).
I've got a mesquite turkey sandwich, with deli mustard and cheddar cheese on multi-grain bread, waiting for me in the refrigerator. I very much look forward to it.

The wrinkly-melty lookin' stuff on the head and neck is bad enough, but that tuft makes it look like a really hairy deflated mole on his face. Ew.
Think I'll make mine honey roasted and Colby on whole wheat.
