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.

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.

Vultures are exceptionally large, scavenging raptors with bald, featherless heads. Carrion is their preferred diet and vultures (often also called condors or buzzards) can soar for hours while searching for a meal. When a kill is found, many vultures may gather to take advantage of the same food source.
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! .
One of the nice side effects of rainy weather is the increased colors in one of my favorite polypores, the turkey tail.

Kusadasi városka nevét arról a parányi szigetről kapta, amely a parttól alig 100 méternyire emelkedik ki a vízből, és csupán egy töltésen vezető út köti össze a szárazfölddel. Ez a Madár-sziget, törökül Kusadasi. Igen jó állapotban levő kőfal fogja közre a sziget területét, középen pedig egy négyszögletes torony áll, a szigeti erőd.
1834-ben építették az oszmán-törökök előretolt védőbástyának a szigetek felől várható lázadók feltartóztatására. Belül több lakóépületet is emeltek.
A trójai háború legendája halhatatlanná vált, mindenekelőtt Homérosz hőskölteményének köszönhetően. Történelme napjainktól ötezer évnyi távolságra nyúlik vissza, amelyre fényt derítettek a trójai ásatások.
Helyének felkutatását Heinrich Schliemann német régésznek köszönhetjük.
1871-ben kezdte az ásatásokat, és állhatatosan kutatott egy évtizeden át. 1890-ben ismerte el a nemzetközi tudóstársaság kutatásának eredményét és legitimálta az ókori Trója romjait. Későbbi kutatások bizonyították, hogy a legősibb település alapjait i.e. 3000 körül rakták le. Az egymásra épített rétegek elárulták, hogy nem kevesebb mint kilenc korszakban épült újabb és újabb város az előttük elpusztultak vagy elpusztítottak helyébe.
