I wanted to take a moment to reach out to all of you and wish you a Happy Thanksgiving, wherever you may be in the world. I know that not everyone celebrates this holiday—many countries don’t have a Thanksgiving tradition, and even here in the United States, there are ongoing discussions about its historical significance and the complexities tied to its origins.

I completely understand and respect those perspectives.

For me, however, Thanksgiving represents something simpler and more universal: an opportunity to gather with loved ones. It’s a day to pause, share time with family and friends, and appreciate the connections we have in our lives.

It also gives me a chance to share some of my favorite wild turkey images! I know not everyone appreciates these birds the way I do, but I think they are amazingly cool.

Their bold feathers, quirky personalities, and place in our ecosystems make them so much more than a holiday symbol.

So, whether or not you celebrate Thanksgiving, I want to take this moment to wish you a beautiful day filled with love, gratitude, and togetherness.

Wherever you are and whatever you’re doing, I hope your day is full of joy, connection, and peace.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us—it means more than you know.

Happy Thanksgiving, or simply, Happy Family Day!
