Wild Turkeys

PixelRabbit · Feb 21, 2013

8 of these gals wandered up to the house single file, they checked to see if there was any seeds on top of the snow around the feeders, unfortunately it was all buried so they turned around and wandered back through the field to their next secret stash.

I got "lucky" and a bunch of snow fell from the branches above them

Would love to hear your thoughts, thanks for taking a look!

Maybe you should set up a feeder for the regular birds REALLY low to the ground! (hint, hint)... you know, right next to your Photography "hunting" blind!

Didn't need to.. but that is why I suggested the feeder! Maybe PR can get a Turkey (or two) that are standing "STILL" in the frame! lol!

The only wild turkey I've seen around here comes in a bottle.

I gotta wonder, what could these gals possibly do to convince the Tom's to, well you know.

Thanks everyone!
Courtney, I think the yellow you are seeing is the iridescence in their feathers, for such an ugly bird around the head their plumage is actually quite beautiful IMHO!
