I saw these 2 nice toms come out into a cornfield and have a good long dust bath..it was comical how they were rolling around and digging themselves down into a hole and kicking...they seemed to really enjoy it:

Nice pics!    I always wondered why they didn't take a "bird bath" with water like their little cousins in my back yard.   :wo:

I think they were celebrating the last day of NH spring turkey season  :wink:

Is that what you call "ground turkey?"

I could be wrong, I often am, but I think I have heard that the dust helps control mites and water doesn't.  You will quite often see birds taking dust baths that also take water baths.

You are right about the mites, Jerry.  I just got to thinking I've never seen or heard of a turkey taking a water bath.   They might do it, I don't know.  :shrug:   They sure could make a splash!   :laf:

:holdon: :nofgr:  I'm sure Barry was talking about the semi-feathered Jim.  :alscalls: :alscalls:
sometimes I wonder....is that getting closer..... then it hits me

I had a personal conflict the other day, now I'm not speaking to myself.... I'm getting lonesome

I met the girl of my dreams, I was the man of her dreams too.....she used the term "nightmares" though.
