Détails de l'observation

My first observation of a partially leucistic WITU, including over 20 years with the ATF (Albany Turkey Flock). Apologies for the photo quality: these shots of my desktop screen appeared brighter when I was editing them. I shot the originals with my iPhone, and will post them in their original state when and if I can figure out a way to do it. This pursuit was part of a general melee near a chicken coop. An escaped Rhode Island red attacked the lead Turkey, and in the wild chase that followed, the Turkeys seemed to take first notice of their leucistic companion and began pursuing it. When I later observed the group on a lawn across the street, the leucistic individual was not with them.
