May be the light but she seems to have more gobbler appearing plumage as well. Nice shot. |

That is a great picture. There seems to be a few of them around. There was a couple birds killed here lately that had the blue head, no fearthers on the neck and head, pronounced caruncles and waddels, along with spurs or bumbs as that of a Jake. Also half of its breast feathers had black tips on them. They (biologists) says there is a bearded hen for every 100 turkeys. Earl |
