Wild Turkey at Boise, Idaho, February 2018. Roosted overnight in my back yard oak tree. Merriam, Rio Grande, and Eastern sub-species were introduced in Idaho beginning in 1961. Now, over half are Rio Grande/Merriam hybrids. The hen pictured is probably a hybrid. There are various flocks in town - in parks, cemeteries, other friendly spots with trees where they can roost at night. We see them all over from time to time. Mainly in forested or brushy areas.
They've prospered around the state, and there's an annual hunting season. Good eating, but they are lean.

My front yard, last December - two young Bucks going at it.

I got some nice shots of a fox and her kit coming out their den (pretty sure they evicted some groundhogs and took it over) last year. This is in Allegheny Cemetery, a 300 acre rural cemetery founded in 1844 smack in the middle of Pittsburgh. I live a few blocks away.
This is the mausoleum below the den. You can see the holes above.

To the right, groundhogs and osprey, to the left impending doom with banjo music.

Well, hello there. This nest is less than half a kilometre from the above nest. There are three within six kilometres

I never go to the mountains without my bear spray. Hope to never have to use it as I'll probably panic and throw the can at it.

That photo was after we got back and I finally cut the protective zap strap off the trigger

Not sure what breed these are, they weren't in my bird books; in various stages of evolution

The other evening, I was sitting outside enjoying a cool breeze when all of a sudden, I was attacked by a terrifying reptile.
I managed to survive, but it was a close call.
