Wild Turkeys in Albany?

Wild Turkeys in Albany?

On December 27, 2011 these Wild Turkey Meleagris gallopavo intermedia hens were seen in my neighbor’s backyard on the 1000 block of Kains Avenue in Albany, CA. Turkeys, possibly these same individuals, have subsequently been seen on rooftops on the same block… on Jan 30, 2012 (the date this was posted) several toms and a whole flock of hens (maybe including these two…) were seen on the block… Taken by a Nikon N75 with a Promaster 7 100-400mm lens (at 400) on Fujicolor Superia Xtra 800. Camera’s on-board flash fired. (How much good that did at this range [~50 feet] is debatable…) Negative scanned into computer by an HP G4010. Dust removal, gamma and color correction done in Paint Shop Pro Photo X2. This is a full-negative scan…

Note that these birds are fully capable of being eaten, but the problem is catching ’em – shooting with a gun is out of the question in this densely populated (…by people…) area! (bow and arrow is a possibility…)

Please note that these two are the Rio Grande subspecies M. g. intermedia, common through the Great Plains of the USA – that was the sub-species introduced into California. (The subspecies is distinguished by much longer legs than any other Meleagris gallopavo subspecies…)

Sink Spider Jan 2011

Spider of unknown (to the photographer…) species seen over his kitchen sink in Albany, CA. Taken by a Nikon N75 with a Nikkor 28-80 kit lens (at 80) on Fujicolor Superia 800. Negative scanned into computer by an HP G4010, dust removal and gamma correction done in Paint Shop Pro Photo X2

The photographer only counts seven legs on this spider, BTW… spider appears on my 17" CRT screen at 1152×864 resolution at slightly larger than life-size: Actual spider was about 20mm, (13/16ths of an inch) head to end of thorax… (maybe 1.25:1 here)

corner spider

Spider found in a corner of my kitchen, of unknown (at least to the photographer…) species. Taken in Albany, CA by a Nikon N75 with a Nikkor 28-80 kit lens (at 80) on Fuji Superia 800. Exposure unrecorded: on-board flash used. Negative scanned into computer by an HP G4010, dust removal and gamma correction done in Paint Shop Pro Photo X2. Cropped lightly to 4×5 aspect ratio.

Subject is about 1:3 on the film plane: above photo, when viewed on my 17" CRT monitor at 1152×864, is at least twice life size… hind end is UP! (h/she was hanging this way!)

Some of the leg shadows don’t touch the end of the leg because the legs are on the spider’s web!

This may be a cast-off exoskeleton…
