For West Texas Talk today, a Thanksgiving Day special from the radio series With Good Reason.


  • Naturalist Joe Hutto, subject of the Emmy winning BBC documentary "My Life As a Turkey", discusses how he became a wild turkey mother in the hammocks of Florida.
  • Pilot Eric Walden gives a play-by-play of the ninja-like moves of the wild turkey—mid-air.
  • The once-scorned bronze-feathered turkey makes a comeback, with the help of organic, free-range farmers like Paul Kelly.
  • Jay Sullivan sends his students off to Thanksgiving Break with a poem about a young engineer’s ingenuity and of course, a turkey.
