Yep. In her natural habitat. 100 ft. from our house.

Nice capture of her concentration on the grass seed. A few simple elements in a strong image. Thanks.

It's getting towards Thanksgiving, isn't it? He's hoping he's still in your good books!

Unfortunately there are plenty of wild turkeys around here. Have to spend way to much time chasing them out of the gardens. But this Thanksgiving their population may drop by one.

Thank you Bertrand. Next time you're in the neighborhood give me a call. The turkeys are never too far away.

Another great shot, Dave. We had several wild turkeys that used to frequent our hill when I lived up in the Rockies, north of Boise. Along with bears, cougars, wolves, deer, elk, badgers, skunks, quail, bobcats and some beautiful mountain bluebirds.

I also like the concentration on the seed above the head. Perfect timing for a great shot.
