Turkey Peeks Behind the Haystack

A nervous Thanksgiving turkey peeks out from behind a tall, shaggy haystack. His big round eyes stretch wide, and his beak hangs open mid-gobble. Two droopy wattles dangle under his chin, and a neat fan of tail feathers curves along his side.

The haystack rises like a fluffy triangle, marked with long, scratchy straw lines that beg for bright color. Little clumps of grass poke up at the bottom, framing his hiding spot. The turkey hugs the edge and keeps watch, ready to wiggle those feathers with a quick shake.

Fun Fact!

The tradition of the U.S. President pardoning a turkey became an official annual event in 1989.
