Sitting High
I have this old pine snag set up in the yard. I brought it down off of the hill thinking that a woodpecker might choose it for a nest site. Well the woodpeckers never came but a pair of nuthatches used it a couple of years and raised at least three broods. This year the holes remain vacant.
Two days ago I looked out the window and was surprised to see a Wild Turkey perched on top of the snag. Usually they seem content to perch on the fence and preen. I often see turkeys lined up on the fence, but, on top of the snag? Oh, well!
That is a really funny picture. He looks rather proud of himself too.
Wow! Tailed fanned out and everything. I’m glad you saw it and photographed it.
Love it! He almost looks like a flag on a flag pole……….great capture Al!
Holy Cow! Who does he think he is? Great Photo!
