Four tom turkeys walzed into view, strutting their stuff between the oak trees.
They were fanning their tails and their face was blue, a sure sign of mating interest.
I don't know where the hen was, but she must have been close. I guessed on the other side of the ridge.
The birds gave a mighty gobble before they moved out of my sight.
I spied the birds from my window as I sat at my desk at about 9:15 a.m. this morning. I grabbed my Canon Powershot and headed out the back door. I didn't even stop for a coat. I scared a woodpecker when I went outside, but the toms were far enough away not to notice. They had other things on their mind.
those are great photos!!
ReplyDeleteI love when the turkeys come. The first time a flock flew through my yard I felt like I was seeing ptyrodactals! The flapping sounded like an invasion.
ReplyDeleteI am SO SO VERY glad that you are enjoying your camera. It sounds like you enjoy it as much as I do my little 3.2 MP one. I want to get a better zoom lens for it but can't decide if I just need a new camera with 6 MP. It's just that, I think, that my camera takes good enough pictures as it is..hmmm...
