Wild Turkey
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.
Another wild turkey
And yet another wild turkey!
I can't help but think of Thanksgiving dinner. ;)
ReplyDeleteSeriously, 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.
ReplyDeleteGreat images. I saw one on our golf course last year but it ran away. I guess I shouldn't have yelled "Thanksgiving!"
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteYou got some great close ups of the wild turkeys.
ReplyDeleteI love wild turkeys but I have never come up on them on foot. Great shots.
ReplyDeleteThey are amazing plump and stupid. They leave LOTS of crap on my lawn. hahahaha
ReplyDeletegreat 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...
ReplyDeleteyou got great close-ups
ReplyDeleteWow, 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.
ReplyDeleteWhat a FABULOUS find!
ReplyDeleteyour wild turkey photos came out great!
ReplyDeletenice work on the bokeh too.
wish you and your family a very happy new year!!
Great pictures. Love them 'ol turkeys. MB
ReplyDeleteCoo photographs, EG. When I lived near Boston College decades ago, we had turkeys walking through the back yard every fall. Pheasants, too.
ReplyDeleteWow, great captures. Like the backlit one. Wishing you all the best in 2013.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen any wild turkeys around here in ages, I think we are too out in the open here.
ReplyDeleteGIll
Great close ups on this turkey.
ReplyDeleteYour photography is great here, but turkeys are just the homeliest of creatures!
ReplyDeleteIt's almost like they posed for you.
ReplyDeleteThey're a bit skittish and sometimes elusive... you did great here!
ReplyDeleteThese are great portraits of the turkeys.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! Turkeys really are awkward little guys.
ReplyDeleteWild turkeys are so fun to watch.
ReplyDeleteSuch colorful birds. We occasionally see them when we are up in the mountains but never get that close.
ReplyDeleteDarla
nice catch. :) I hope the only way you shoot them was with the camera. :)
ReplyDeleteWe had the kids over last Saturday. The city boy and his girlfriend were here, too.
ReplyDeleteGF wandered and looked out the back door at the 12 turkeys. Holy smoke, she was surprised! Our are huge!
How neat to see a whole flock, and better yet, get several pictures of them! I guess they were happy they survived Thanksgiving. :)
