Lone turkey feather on ground.Found Turkey Feather.

A lone feather is always so serene looking.

    It is very common to find a lone feather laying peacefully on the ground. There are several reasons why birds loose their feathers. One main reason is that they are moulting, a bird's version of seasonal shedding. A second reason is through an unfortunate encounter with a preditor.
   What preditors do birds in the wild have?In my area it's cats, dogs, cyotes, racoons, mink and man. Whether the reason is carefree or sad, each of these ways that feathers are lost is a part of nature's cycle.

THE BEAUTY OF EACH FEATHER FOUND WILL ALWAYS
BE A SPECIAL TRIBUTE
TO THE LIFE THAT SUPPORTED IT.

TURKEY GRAZING IN THE GRASS.
By the way, Wild Turkeys do fly! They fly very well. Their large akward bodies make take off a very noisey venture. It is quite a joyful moment to see and hear a startled flock take off to tree tops nearby.
