Turkey wandering through the tall grass
During this time of year we hear distant gobbles from these birds and sometimes we get lucky enough to see them. They tend to come out near the edge of the woodline, but sometimes they come out further and into the fields. In that case I saw one and got my camera out to get some pictures.

This is a big one, and it was just slowly walking through the fields not really caring what is around. Probably has some big talons on it for protection..lol
It started to rain, we can see the water drops in the picture.
I hope to see more, this is probably just the start for the season.
Last year we saw families of them along with their poults.
It kept walking further, I think it noticed me.
As it went seems it had no cares for me at all.
Its always cool seeing them up close. Well as close as a wild turkey will let it get from me.
The rain was starting to pick up at this point.
Eventually it made its way across the field and went into the bushes.
Its a beautiful content ... thanks for sharing with us 😊
No problem, glad you liked it.
Yes... but i have a question 😕 can i grow up with you
Good evening my friend, it is very true what you said, the sound of birds is very pleasant if we enjoy it, the view of the place is very beautiful, I really like it ❤️🙏
I do like seeing them around.
Good afternoon, dear friend @solominer
How great that you were able to photograph them before the rain fell more heavily. It's incredible to have a visit from wild turkeys.
Beautiful photographs. I appreciate you sharing this adventure.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Thanks much, I am glad to get some good shot of them.
The turkey couldn't be polite enough to pose. What a turkey!!!
Hah yeah it did hang around just long enough to get some good photos.
And now you need a bigger freezer to keep them fresh untill thanks giving ? 😂😂😜😜
Hehe we have a pretty big chest freezer already so bring it on.
I'm scared of domesticated Turkey's and with good reason to..
They're the most unreasonable of all poultry 😂😭
Hah I would not want to deal with an angry one.. hear they have some nasty claws.
Claws, beaks even hard wings...
They aren't really picky at what they'll use and traumatize you😭😂😂
Turkey by macro lens goood 😁
I am quite glad to have the setup
Looks like dinner to me..
hehe we do have a hunting season for them.
Beautiful specimen you captured!
Here in my country, they're no longer found in the wild; they're only found in the homes of specific breeders.
Thanks much, oh damn that is a shame.. they roam the woods here in abundance.
Fantastic that you can enjoy it that way!
Big hugs!
Wow really is a very rare animal I never saw it
They are pretty cool seeing up in person.
Yes, it's really very cool when you meet immediately I really like to see your photos
so lucky to see this really big turkey ,I have never seen this big bird in my life ,amazing !
They are pretty cool to see in person. Hope you get to see one.
Nice photos! Turkey's always make me laugh. Around here they always seem to make their way into the oddest places.
Thanks, hah yeah it is funny just seeing them wander around.
We came home one day to a baby bird in a cage. It was a wild turkey. We named her Dinner, but she never was. She would play with the kids, they would run and jump as far as they could and she would run and fly, landing where they landed. She was a good pet, but one night a bobcat got her.
Oh that is a cool story, sounds like it was a nice pet. Such a shame a bobcat got it.
