I'm in a new place where I can't put Icons on the walls. Our family - like most religious Greeks- traditionally has an 'iconostasis' or icon stand in the corner. Ikea came in handy here with a corner cabinet! It wasn't cheap but having an icon corner is important.

We finally got around to assembling one of the a/v shelf units that I ordered from The Library Store. While I'm happy with it as far as ease of assembly, and the finished product, I felt shafted when we opened the box and discovered that every single piece of it is MDF board with a thin veneer of wood on the surfaces that show. The ad did not mention MDF, only the different types of wood. I would not have paid what I did if I'd known that we were getting MDF.

I saw numerous wild turkeys while hiking in the Mt. Lemmon area in the Santa Catalina Mountains north of Tucson. I believe that these are Gould's Turkey but I can't really tell the difference between Gould's Turkeys and Merriam's Turkeys. I think the location and the white on the tail indicates that these are Gould's turkeys.

The fifth recognized, but least known, wild turkey subspecies is the Gould's (Meleagris gallopavo mexicana) found in portions of Arizona and New Mexico, as well as northern Mexico. It was first described by J. Gould in 1856 during his travels in Mexico.
Like the Merriam's, the Gould's is a bird of the mountains. It exists in very small numbers along the U.S./Mexico borders in Arizona and New Mexico, but is abundant in the northwestern portions of Mexico. The Arizona Game and Fish Department, U.S. Forest Service, the Centro Ecologico de Sonora, the National Wild Turkey Federation and other agencies are working cooperatively to reintroduce a strong Gould's population into Arizona and eventually other states where suitable range exists.
The Gould's turkey is the largest of the 5 subspecies and resembles the Merriam's turkey. They have longer legs, larger feet and larger center tail feathers than any of the other wild turkey subspecies in North America. Gould's differ by having distinctive white tips on the tail feathers and tail rump coverts, which usually separate to show an "eyelash" appearance. Lower back and rump feathers have copper and greenish-golden reflections, not like the faintly iridescent velvety black found on the Merriam's. Gould's body plumage is said to be somewhat blue-green in coloration. Adult females have a less pronounced metallic greenish and reddish sheen and are more purplish.
