🪶…and here’s a couple of Cape Cod lads, they just stay away from you.
Two wild turkey toms amongst the trees. There’s a thick blanket of fallen leaves beneath them. The trees are thin and scrubby, typical cape cod. The light is low, late afternoon in November.

🪶 Here’s a couple of city lads from Roslindale (part of Boston, MA). They were jerky and held up traffic on purpose
A wild turkey tom strutting down a city street. A curb loaded with trash bags and cans is behind him. Two wild turkey toms ambling down a city street. There’s a car turning onto the same street behind them, and they took their sweet old time before they moved out of the way. Bare trees, fire hydrant (with a yellow cap, as is the style around here), lamp posts and some area-typical three-decker houses behind them.

🪶 All present and accounted for
Seven wild turkey toms in a back yard. It is early morning in late november. It’s cold, the trees are bare, the shadows are long and the turkeys look kinda fat because they’re a bit puffed up for warmth.

🪶 I feel seen
A New Yorker cartoon from Nov 11 2025. An elderly woman is setting a long table for 8 while talking on the phone: “Just pick up a ham - you’ll understand when you get here.” An elderly man, presumably her husband, is standing next to the table, holding a turkey by the hand and smiling at it lovingly.

🪶 Happy (US) Thanksgiving week. They out here trying to secure future generations.
A rafter of wild turkeys in my driveway. I think there were 12 in total, 7 toms and 5 hens. The laddies are all puffed up in display and the ladies are trying to just have a peaceful meal, goddammit. Excuse me sir, but you are standing on my sunflower seeds.

🪶 I don’t mean to brag, but i’m pretty much an expert, according to the mass audubon turkey quiz:

A screenshot of an online quiz result. It has a circle with “100%” written in it. Below: “Well done! You’d fit right in with a rafter of turkeys!”

🪶 Frosty lads
Four wild turkey toms on a back yard lawn. They are pecking at peanuts. It is late November, the grass has a bit of frost on it, the trees are bare. Shed in the background.

🪶 Lads introduced their new campaign slogan
Two wild turkey toms on a back door stoop. They are very close to the viewer and staring at them intently. Below them, the slogan “Peanuts For Them” in the Zohrani campaign style, yellow serif font with an orange drop shadow on a deep blue background.

🪶 “More peanuts or we cancel another 10% of flights”
Two wild turkey toms at the back door, very close to the viewer. The butt end of a third one can be seen off to the left. They look vaguely threatening but they’re really harmless beggars. Late afternoon in November, seasonally appropriate foliage in the background.

🪶 Change in venue was necessitated as the candidates felt unsafe. (3/3)
Wild turkey tom on a garage roof. He’s peeping for that coyote that just scared them all.

🪶 Losing candidate came by but refused to concede (2/3)
A coyote strolling around the house, looking for turkeys to bag. Bold as day, if you like. Fallen leaves around it, paved road behind him.

🪶 Lads celebrating their election victory (1/3)
Six wild turkey toms in a back yard lawn. They are rather close to the viewer and they’re all looking at you. Shed and very autumnal trees in the background.

🪶 Picking their down-ballot candidates
Two wild turkey toms in an asphalt driveway. They are intently staring at the ground, which has shelled sunflower seeds strewn about. Some bushes and trees behind them. It’s November, everything’s looking yellowed and on its way out. It’s Election Day, this town is getting a new mayor, some real estate dude who wears unflattering sweaters and is running unopposed.

🪶 Rain lads
Three wild turkey toms in an asphalt driveway. The shot is cropped around their heads, and they all seem to be counting the number of sunflower seeds strewn before them. It is wet and drizzly.

🪶 Friday lads
Seven wild turkey toms in a back yard. The lawn is leaf-strewn, it is late October. Most of the trees in the background are already bare. One of the lads on the left is flapping his wings, i caught him in the moment of takeoff. He was just pecked at by one of the other jerks. They are constantly asserting dominance. Probably a metaphor there.

🪶 Ding Dong
Three wild turkey toms. Two are on the kitchen steps, basically asking for handouts. It’s been getting colder lately, so they’re in a rush to put on some winter fat. Garage and yard in the background. And the driveway covered in pine needles AGAIN after a 3 day storm, when i’d just swept them up last weekend. *shakes fist

🪶 Bonus content: never get tired of this trick, they can make their entire head disappear if they get cold
A wild turkey tom on some brown grass. He’s withdrawn his head into his plumage, so there’s just a whorl of feathers where his neck should be. We’ve got a big storm coming, so this is their version of hunkering down.

🪶 I think this lad (the Bruce) has the pox, he don’t look so good
A wild turkey tom standing on some brown grass. He’s got brown spots on his head, like a rotten fruit. You can’t tell that well from this angle, but his head is pretty swollen, too.

🪶 First frost lads
Three wild turkey toms in a driveway. It is morning, the sun is low and behind them. Tons of pine needles on the driveway, yes yes i promise i’ll rake them up this weekend. One of the toms is kind of blurry and looks startled, he just got pecked in the bum by another Tom behind him (there were 5 lads in total this morning), so he’s caught between being pecked from behind and a human blocking his way.

🪶 Bizarre Turkey Triangle
Seven wild turkey toms standing in a triangular formation, like bowing pins. It is pouring rain. One seems kinda smart and has his head under a bush. Tree line in background. The title refers to an old New Order song from 1986, Bizarre Love Triangle; in case anyone under 50 has questions. It’s a great song, go seek it out.

🪶 Driveway moment.
Three wild turkey toms in a driveway. As seen from above (i was on some steps and held the phone high over them). They are milling around uncertainly near a large patch of thyme that grows in the walkway.

Two yankee fan jabronis wrestling a caught ball away from mookie betts (on the Dodgers by then). They look like a couple of dumb, drunk cartoon villains
