I think she’s the same one I started seeing last winter. Never saw one before that. She’s part of a flock that passes behind the house regularly on the way to the neighbor’s corn field. She disappeared during archery season.

All the bird feeder spillage is iced over.

A small Jenny joined the daily flock this past week and a Tom showed up with them this morning.

had one at the house for several years, she had a beard that eventually was about 9 inches. The gobblers did not care if she looked a little butch, as she always had a bunch of poults every spring. I would always ask the local guys to not shoot her. But one summer she was not around. several of her poults had beards.
