Turkeys and a Butterfly

Wild turkeys appear to be more common than when I was a kid. It isn't often that I get a picture of them though, because they hurry away before I get my camera ready. I was glad to get a picture of these in Fort Valley.



I was glad to see another tiger swallowtail today. I haven’t seen many butterflies this summer, and a friend said the same thing. Perhaps it has been too dry for them. I did see a black butterfly the other day, but it was obscured by plants. It could’ve been the dark morph of a tiger swallowtail.

  7. I can never look at a turkey without thinking that it could have been our national bird. :-)
