BIRD NERD, That's Me......

I love birds. I think they are very cool. I like to identify birds. Not too long ago I saw an unusual bird up at G&G T's and I couldn't figure out what the heck it was. The men were trying to tell me it was just some hawk, but I knew better. I thought vulture.... But I had seen a Turkey Vulture just this summer and knew they had a red head, this crazy bird didn't. Well, I FINALLY purchased my first Bird Field Guide and found out what the heck that bird was. A JUVENILE turkey vulture! They just have a brown head. Crazy! Here's a picture with a bunch of zoom on it.

To continue my bird nerd adventure story. I was driving home today and saw a couple of regular turkeys right next to the road, so nerd that I am, armed with a camera at all times, I made a U turn and got some turkey pictures. Here's the best one of the male.
