Yesterday I made an amazing sighting of two Florida Wild Turkeys!
They are also known as Osceola Turkeys.
I live just on the Northeastern tip of their distribution and have never seen them before.
There is a Turkey season where they are hunted, so they were rightfully a bit nervous to see me.
I was surprised at how large and beautiful they are. You can tell they are very fast as well.
They were on the move and I respectfully followed them for about 15 minutes.
Those thick, bold feathers are breathtaking.
I hope they have lots of babies so I can witness them more often.
