Wild Turkey
We saw three males displaying and eight or ten females mostly ignoring them. The males were in their full glory, with blue heads, red wattles, and fully inflated air pouches. An astounding sight, vaguely reminiscent of our visit to the Sage Grouse lek at Malheur NWR.

Having left the desert, we spent the day in the mountains on the way to San Diego. Wonderful wildflowers, new habitats.
