I have to start examining my lawn more carefully. According to an article in the latest Audubon Magazine, the poop of a tom turkey is J-shaped, while that of a hen turkey is more of a spiral. I asked my informant about that this morning, and he confirmed that it was true and was, in fact, one of the ways he used to track turkeys back in his hunting days. We started to speculate as to why males and females would extrude different shapes but quickly decided that it was subject we didn't want to pursue.
