Cool Dude/Birding

Wild turkey walking a trail

When I first saw this dude, he looked like this. Then some female turkeys came along and...

Excited!

he looked like this. It must be spring.

U nas wiosna już jest, ale takich pięknych ptaków nie ma. Pozdrawiam.
You already spring, but these beautiful birds is not. Yours.

The effect of females on males can be quite impressive :-)

How do you do this? If I see a wild turkey (other than the Wild Turkey Whiskey) it turns and runs. Hmmm...maybe it's my deodorant or lack thereof?

Anni said...

How fantastic are these images?!! Shows us a bit of nature's way of dealing with Spring...the 'spring feelings' in wild turkeys!!!

I've only seen wild turkeys just a couple of times, and your photos are a treat. [no pun intended]

ouch! My grand parents had two fo tehm once when I was a kid. I was afraid of them. I´m not sure I want to meet one.

Kathy said...

Gotta strut your stuff for the girls!

Kay said...

Very nice shots with wonderful detail. (Though I think that's a face only a mother could love.) We came across a spot in California where the turkeys had hung out and found some magnificent feathers they left behind.

LONDONLULU said...

Haha, Spring has arrived even in the Great North!:) Marvelous shots, I love that strut in his step.

Michelle said...

A good looking fellow! We have plenty of those around the farm right now!

Esther Joy said...

Great pictures! We have a few wild turkeys down on the farm, but I haven't seen any lately.

I love coming upon wild turkeys. When I do I'm fumbling around for my camera and they are gone.

Great classic photo you got there.

Rosemary Aubut said...

Great photos! Love the tones and composition!

Just like a male in the human world. Male behavior is universal, I guess. :) The feathers and markings are so pretty here.

Stephanie said...

Looks like he was showing off.

Susan Anderson said...

That is one vain turkey!
