From The Trail Cameras

From the trail camera trap line last weekend are a couple of oddities.

A bearded turkey hen is a female turkey (hen) that has a beard, a tuft of bristle-like feathers growing from the breast. While all toms (male turkeys) have beards, about 10% of hens also develop them, though usually shorter and thinner than those of toms. Bearded hens still breed, lay eggs, and raise broods like any other hen. 

Like this hen who has been showing-up on my cameras.

 

And a raccoon with no tail.....
