Gobble!  Gobble! by dianen

Gobble! Gobble!

There is a flock of turkeys in town that I have been trying to capture but everytime I get out of the car, they run into the woods. Today I managed to get onto the field without them noticing me and then something scared them on the opposites side of the field so they came running at me. Because I was crouched down and shooting, I guess they didn't see me! Lucky for them, I'm a vegetarian so the only shooting of them I will be doing is with my camera. I have to say, I was fascinated with them!
Great shot of them! You even got one of them with the full puffed out display.
They are fun to watch, and are one kind of wildlife that don't do any damage.

Great shot,I know how hard it is to get them. The wild turkeys are very skid dish.

@rontu @joansmor they are oddly fast! @gilbertwood @lesip Thank you! @kimdavis thanks Kim so at least I can always be a stalker!! :). @julienne1 they are almost so ugly they re cute! @colleenculhane thanks Colleen. I liked this shot best because it showed the one strutting around and how they normally look! Plus this one was most focused. I had a full on front shot of mr turkey all puffed up but his face wasn't quite in focus. And this seemed more natural!
