Wild Turkey: very close to home

We have a lot of wild turkeys here in Western Oregon , including a flock that hangs out on the local golf course. Here's one that paid a visit to our back deck this afternoon. Click the photos for a larger view. [note: there are a couple different subspecies of wild turkey in Oregon, Merriam's & Rio Grande. I think this is a Merriam's because of the white tail margin, but am not 100% sure. If you know, send me a note.]
