This wild turkey decided my freshly transplanted rhododendron offered the perfect opportunity to indulge in a dirt bath.

I was so surprised, usually these turkeys hightail it as soon as they see you, but not this one, lol! She was definitely enjoying herself.
Poor Rhododendron! Haha! I don't think I've ever seen a turkey take a dirt bath before now. Thanks for sharing!
