That there's a snipe. Get a paper grocery bag, walk slowly toward it rattling the bag, and it'll come up to you.

Some type of ptarmigan???

Rock Ptarmigan

We use pilllow cases and wooden spoons to catch snipes in Western Pa, lol

Pillow cases? I like the grocery bag method much better.

My uneducated layperson's guess is that it's a peafowl.
Or a snipe.

This one Hubby took Saturday, with his phone. Should I post this elsewhere on this forum? I thought it was a turkey.

Not a turkey, not a snipe. I've never seen anything quite like that before in the wild. Gotta be someones pet.

Well I agree it isnt a turkey but I would also say it does not look like any tundra chicken I have ever seen either (Ptarmigan)
