Today, Roger killed a turkey...the biggest he has ever killed! It weighed 25 lb....We didn't measure the beard. I know he had one turkey with a longer beard before.

I just have to show you some of the feathers...you have to enlarge these to see what I am talking about. They have not been manipulated, other than I re-sized the pictures for this blog.

Aren't they gorgeous!

Look at that green on the above photo...that is really what it looked like.

And these! Can you believe the color?

And as an added treat, look at this red headed woodpecker! We took a short drive late this afternoon, and I spotted him on this post as we were going around this curve.

It is the first one I have seen in years and years. I only managed to get one shot before he took off.
