Not So Wild Turkey by linnypinny

Not So Wild Turkey

I was taking a photo of GO on a stop sign (and trying to be discreet) when I heard a noise behind me. This turkey was right beside me, obviously trying to tell me something! He either circled around me or walked beside me all the way back to the condo. Then he wanted to follow me into the garage. Finally, he got distracted by some ducks at the lake and walked over there, so I could get the garage door closed safely. I think this would make a nice capture for the pet theme...LOL...
lol... well it may be someone's pet.. lol

Awesome! They can be quite pesky at times. Other times, they won't let you get within 100 yards of them. Psycho birds! :)

You might think it's a good subject for the pet theme, but to me it's a good subject for the oven. Lovely capture, are you not allowed to capture the turkey??

Awesome picture.

A very fun story!

@juliedduncan They have been living in our neighborhood for years now, and this has never happened! He was quite determined to join me in the garage! Thanks for dropping by!

@ladymagpie LOL - I should have threatened him with the oven! Maybe then he wouldn't have been so anxious to come inside! Thanks for stopping by with a laugh (and I'm still singing Sound Of Music stuff)

How cool! With my luck it would follow me only to leave when I tried to get my camera out. Outstanding!

Great capture and interesting encounter! I have never seen a turkey close up before - I had not idea how pretty the detailing in the feathers is!
June 15th, 2015  
Well, if that's not the wildest thing, this turkey following you home! He definitely wanted his picture taken it sounds like. Way to grab the opportunity, Lin.

@mcsiegle I had been taking photo down the road a bit, and was so surprised that the turkey was very close to me, I almost forgot to grab a capture of him! Thanks for stopping by!

@katrinastabback Thanks, Kat. I've taken many photos of them, but never from this close up!
