A week ago on a walk down a woodland path, my husband and I came upon a flock of approximately two dozen wild turkeys. They were way more interested in scratching the earth for bugs and worms than they were in me and my camera.
Wow, these are really great turkey shots! aka a turkey shoot. LOL They have made their way into our area too but I don't know what they do with all this snow.
We had the kids over last Saturday. The city boy and his girlfriend were here, too. GF wandered and looked out the back door at the 12 turkeys. Holy smoke, she was surprised! Our are huge!
East Gwillimbury is a rural town less than an hour north of Toronto, Canada's largest city.
My family calls me CameraGirl because I take my camera with me wherever I go.

I can't help but think of Thanksgiving dinner. ;)
Seriously, beautiful images! Very nice.
How lucky for you, our wild turkeys are so skittish of people I could never get a shot of them this close.
Great images. I saw one on our golf course last year but it ran away. I guess I shouldn't have yelled "Thanksgiving!"
I used to work with a bunch of turkeys but they were all wearing suits!
amazing shots and i have never seen a wild one. hubby has, he used to hunt in PA when he lived up there. i rather hunt with my camera.
You got some great close ups of the wild turkeys.
I love wild turkeys but I have never come up on them on foot. Great shots.
They are amazing plump and stupid. They leave LOTS of crap on my lawn. hahahaha
great shots!! Around here, the wild turkeys are far more cautious!! They don't make a fuss about it, just drift into the woods as you approach...
you got great close-ups

What a FABULOUS find!
your wild turkey photos came out great!
nice work on the bokeh too.
wish you and your family a very happy new year!!
Great pictures. Love them 'ol turkeys. MB
Coo photographs, EG. When I lived near Boston College decades ago, we had turkeys walking through the back yard every fall. Pheasants, too.
Wow, great captures. Like the backlit one. Wishing you all the best in 2013.
I haven't seen any wild turkeys around here in ages, I think we are too out in the open here.

Great close ups on this turkey.
Your photography is great here, but turkeys are just the homeliest of creatures!
It's almost like they posed for you.
They're a bit skittish and sometimes elusive... you did great here!
These are great portraits of the turkeys.
Great photos! Turkeys really are awkward little guys.
Wild turkeys are so fun to watch.
Such colorful birds. We occasionally see them when we are up in the mountains but never get that close.

nice catch. :) I hope the only way you shoot them was with the camera. :)

How neat to see a whole flock, and better yet, get several pictures of them! I guess they were happy they survived Thanksgiving. :)
