I was the at park looking for a picture to take the week before Christmas.
And I found one.
This turkey is a dead duck.
He isn't pining for the fjords.
This birb is no more.
Not a mark on him. There
is an active rock quarry just across the crick from where I found him. I thought, at first, that maybe they were blasting, and debris struck, and killed him. But, no marks of any kind on the birb. I wonder if blasting might have scared it to death? He was about two feet from the base of a tree, like he just fell dead outta the tree.
