Dawn on 29/09/19 in Turunc, Turkey
Some days its just worth getting up very early and seeing what opportunities Nature brings your way.
I always thought dawn and the sunrise here would be stunning and it really was.
Seen at Stony Creek Park, with only a cell phone in hand : )
Wild Turkeys seem to be more abundant this year.
Domestic Turkeys were bred from this species of Wild Turkey.
The "National Turkey Federation" ( didn't know there was such an organization) estimates that 42 million turkeys were eaten in the United States on November 25 this year (Thanksgiving Day).

Mardin is a historical city in southeastern Turkey. It is a place where the people of different cultures and religions live in peace together.
Wild turkeys are powerful fliers, especially for short distances. Speeds of up to 55 mph have been observed. To conserve energy, wild turkeys primarily walk. They spend most of their time on the ground, where they search for acorns, seeds, fruits, insects, leaves, and small vertebrates. They can easily cover several hundred acres in a day.
Wild turkeys are social animals and typically flock together in groups numbering just a few birds to as many as 20 or more. They are extremely wary and will run away or fly to a tree to escape danger. For safety from ground predators, wild turkeys roost at night in trees within thicker forest stands.
Florida is home to two subspecies of wild turkey — the eastern wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) and the Osceola or Florida wild turkey. The Florida wild turkey is best distinguished from the eastern subspecies, which it closely resembles, by the white barring on its wing feathers. On Florida wild turkeys, the white bars on the primary wing feathers are narrower than the black bars and are irregular or broken, which tends to give the wing an overall darker appearance compared to eastern wild turkeys.
The Florida wild turkey is found only in peninsular Florida. North of the peninsula and across the Florida panhandle, it interbreeds with the eastern subspecies.
The wild turkey is a woodlands bird and prefers open forests and forest edges and openings. They are considered a generalist species meaning they do not require specialized food or a particular vegetation community to survive. Consequently, they occur throughout Florida in any suitable habitat.
I found these two in a large group of about 20 just off of Peavine Road In Osceola County, Florida.
The turkey is a funny bird
Its head goes bobble-bobble;
And all he knows is just one word.....

Turkey
We went to Turkey in April of 2016. I was incredibly surprised with what we saw. We visited Alanya, Antalaya, Istanbul, the Kursunlu Falls, Laodicea as well as the Green Canyon and much more. We were very impressed with the welcome, the friendliness and just the sheer uniqueness of the country.
I would have liked to have stayed much longer but you can’t have everything in life.
Also known as the snake bird or water turkey, the anhinga is a year-round resident of Florida. It is also found from coastal sections of South Carolina westward to Texas and Mexico, and even south to Argentina.
Like cormorants, anhingas do not have oil glands for waterproofing their feathers and the feathers get wet when they are swimming.
You can often spot the anhinga perched on a branch with wings outstretched, drying feathers. They feed on small fish, shrimp, amphibians, crayfish and young alligators and snakes. The fact that their feathers are less water resistant than other birds helps them to swim underwater, where they often spear fish with their long neck and sharp beak. They surface in order to flip their catch into their mouth for consumption.
Mating generally occurs in February with egg-laying occurring throughout the spring and early summer. Nests are built in shoreline trees 15 to 20 feet high.
I found this one along Peavine Road in Osceola County, Florida.
I was searching for wild bird subjects this morning but didn't find much. However, just in time for Thanksgiving, I found this decidedly un-wild Turkey on a back road. I knew it was not wild because when I slowly approached in the car he and his fellows approached the car rather aggressively probably in hopes of a hand-out. Turkey panhandlers. :)
Happy Thanksgiving! .
Turkey tail fungi.
Trametes versicolor – also known as Coriolus versicolor and Polyporus versicolor – is a common polypore mushroom found throughout the world. Meaning 'of several colors', versicolor reliably describes this fungus that displays different colours.
The turkeytail is a very colourful bracket fungus that grows throughout the year, but is at its best in the autumn. Its circular caps can be seen growing in tiers on trees and dead wood.
Már több kilométers távolságból szemünk elé tárul az a váratlan, különleges látvány, amit a pamukkalei táj jelent. A török elnevezés megközelítően jó hasonlatot takar: "Gyapotvár".
Egy 200-300 m magas hegyoldalt több száz méteres szélességben csillogó fehér bolyhok borítanak. Ahogy közelebb érünk, látjuk, hogy a függőleges falszakaszok felett teraszok nyúlnak el vízszintesen, amelyekre felülről vékony erecskékben csordogál lefelé a víz. Amikor a kanyargós úton feljutunk a hegy tetejére, közvetlen közelről is megnézhetjük , hogy mi is ez a csillogó fehérség. Nem más, mint az ősidők óta itt felszínre törő különleges összetételű termálvízből kicsapódott mész és gipsz lerakódása, ami idővel az egész domboldalt beborította.

This natural beauty is situated in Oymapınar Dam center.
Oymapinar Dam is an arch dam built on the Manavgat river in Turkey in 1984.
It is an arch dam in design, 185 m in height, built to generate hydroelectric power.
December
One of the nice side effects of rainy weather is the increased colors in one of my favorite polypores, the turkey tail.
