Hot Turkey

There's a really large flock of turkeys in the vicinity of Mile 844 this year,

and they all seem to be centered around this handsome fellow:

Male turkeys collect a harem, and this one seems to have exceptional charm,

since there are about 15 or so females in his flock. I've seen them at Fort Snelling State Park,

and also up in St. Paul near Edgecumbe Road and Hampshire Avenue of late.But who could resist a face like this, after all?
