Lost Baby

Late one evening in late Spring, I went out into the garage and noticed what I thought was a bird with a wing outstretched. I thought perhaps it was injured. When I reached down to gently lift it up, suddenly a long neck and even longer legs popped out!! There was hardly any bird body at all...just wings, neck and legs. Realizing it was a baby turkey, probably belonging to the brood we'd seen earlier that day, I brought him inside, photographed him, and then released him into the woods to find "mama" again. I just had to share the photo.
