Taken near the Webb Canyon entrance to Quicksilver Park. These two images are of the same bird, just seconds apart. Notice the amazing change in color around the head and neck. Here is some info I found at: http://www.clemson.edu/psapublishing/Pages/4H/SW405.pdf The male has several head adornments which the female does not have. The wattling is the fleshy growth hanging from underneath the throat or chin of the male. The carnucles are fatty growths located on the side and back of the neck and the lower throat. The snood is the fleshy projection hanging from above the bill. The naked area of the turkey's head may appear to be red, blue or white, depending on the turkey's mood. Blood may fill these fleshy areas, causing them to appear bright red. This area is also richly pigmented. The combined action of the pigments and the movement of the blood account for the changing coloration. When the male turkey is strutting or threatening another gobbler the head area becomes bright red. If the turkey becomes frightened, the head becomes blue in color as the blood leaves this portion of the head.
