My friends are back munching away on the basil seeds and by way of a change went for the fuchsia flower for dessert.

This pretty girl sauntered by while a buddy and I were fishing the Owyhee River in Oregon this past Thursday.

My expert-turkey-hunting-buddy says this one is a Rio Grande. Easterns, Rio Grandes, and Mirriams in various parts of Idaho and Oregon. Easterns mainly in North Idaho, Mirriams in forested areas in Southwest Idaho, and Rio Grandes along the rivers. Wild Turkeys first brought to Idaho and Oregon in 1961. All have generally thrived and grown in number, with Mirriams being the largest population around here now.

As drgondog said, this hen has been a bit domesticated. The Owyhee is a popular recreational area, BLM land. Plenty of campers, boaters, anglers. She's seen plenty of people, probably been fed.

I live in Boise, I had a wild turkey hen roost in my backyard a few years ago.
