Ocellated turkeys

[muskrat89]

Stopped in at a friend of mine (he's a taxidermist) the other day. He had 3 gobblers up that he was working on. He said "OK, here's your test - what are they?" Well, I'll be darned if I knew what those freaky looking blue-headed birds were..

Turns out they were ocellated turkeys, from Guatemala. I guess they're pretty unusual. It's cool to have seen them....
