Wild turkey (female), moseying out of photo range
Thursday we passed a farm with this critter out on the front lawn. We backed up... but the turkey heard us and began walking in the opposite direction until...
it was out of sight. Sometimes I wish wild turkeys were not such...er ...turkeys!

Ha! Loved your last line. Great shots!
Great capture. Turkeys have made a big come back in Ontario.
Funny, I see them in the fields all the time, but I never realized they were so colorful.
I think they are rather ugly, but yet beautiful at the same time. If that makes any sense!
Thanksgiving dinner!
The turkeys are cool critters, glad these were safe and not dinner. Great sighting and photos.
Love that last shot of him!
Turkeys I do find one of the quirkiest of birds.
We have whole herds of Wild Turkey around here. Just yesterday I lost count at 30 in a grassy field with homes all around. Quite used to a suburban lifestyle they are.
he is a fine one, but i am afraid of turkeys and you will find nary a turkey photo on my blog. i was attacked by a white turkey gobbler when i was 8, he ripped my Easter dress to ribbons. but i do like the wagon wheel with the turkey. i am also afraid of Roosters for the same reason, once a really beautiful and big rooster appeared under our grapefruit tree in the front yard. bob says aren't you going to go out and take a photo? i said if you want one you go take it.
laughing at your commentary. but at least you caught him/her!
Great captures.
He would have made a nice picture on top of that old farm equipment!
Fantastiskt färggrann kalkon. Bra fotograferat. Ha en bra lördagskväll. Anita
I had no idea that we had wild turkeys here!
Yeah, they really are turkeys sometimes, aren't they? Well, I guess they're always turkeys.
Good work capturing this one.

How can I soar like an Eagle when all I see are Turkeys. LOL
Nice captures. MB
Great shots! I can't seem to get close enough to the wild ones to get good shots...even with a zoom! These are very good!
They are such funny-looking critters. Lovely shots!
Handsome chap you do not find them wild here.
hee hee...
Indeed! Those turkeys can be hard to capture!
You did better than I did. Saw one of these on the golf course last fall and grabbed my camera but all I got was the darn thing wiggling his tail feathers at me.
I think you got a fine picture even if he didn't cooperate.
Darned inconsiderate of that bird.
that turkey looks ever so different to the wild turkeys around here. Great shots though,

Gill,
This is a female. You may be more familiar with males, which look a bit different.
:) nice captures
Love that second shot! Will you consider entering it in my 'Weekly Top Shot' meme? We're on Week #17 and I'd love to see you share with me and my readers! Here's this weeks' link: http://www.theviewfromrighthere.com/blog/?p=6220
hahaha! Great post, and great pictures!!!!
Believe it or not, I have never seen a live turkey in my life, only in the grocery store to buy for Thanksgiving or Christmas time. Thanks for the look see what they look like.
Excellent capture.
i think the turkey is camera shy. :)
In 20 years I have only seen wild turkeys twice. These are great shots and I enjoyed your last line very much. Thanks for the chuckle and the neat photos.
Yours seem to have a little brighter color in the feathers that we see here.
Loved your captions - made me chuckle.
We don't have them, so for me it was a treat just to SEE one!
Lovely capture of Miss wild turkey. Sunlight glistens on her colorful feathers.
~:)
A wonderful capture of that turkey! Especially love the composition of the second photo as he's walking away!
He looks super skinny!
You still did well! Capturing wildlife is so difficult!
You did a great job getting those shots!
Good Capture.
Exam Papers
That last shot is so appealing!
Nice shots.
Regards and best wishes
