The young Wild Turkey that has been spending time this summer in the north part of the ramble is is now looking mighty scruffy.  September is when a juvenile turkey would have a complete, post juvenile molt, so the scruffy appearance of the bird may not be cause for alarm.  The bare patterns seems symmetrical and the bare patch on the neck may be a sign that we have a male bird.

I guess we’ll know for sure in a few more weeks.
