But they may end up posting in here anyway. :D

Over the past few days I have noticed some wild turkeys lurking about more. Here are some from my area.

"Hey Tom" -"Yeah Tom" "That guy on that was on his bike his back. He's got a camera now."

-"Are you sure it's not a gun?" "Yeah, I'm sure."

-"Okay, well just ignore him and keep eating." "Will do, Tom."

-"Mess around with him a bit. Give him a butt shot and shake your head so you're frustratingly out of focus."

-"Done and done!"

-"Hey, Tom I'm getting bored plus all the cuss words coming from that guy is not letting my food sit well."

-"You're too sensitive Tom. But let's get outta here. Let's head for the woods over there."

These aren't spectacular by any means, but I haven't seen many wild turkeys lately so this was fun. The light was low and my AF wouldn't focus so I had to manually focus. They constant bobbing of their heads while foraging caused many of the shots to have a soft head. Whatcha gonna do? I tried. Anyhow, I was glad to be able to capture some images. Part II is coming with some better pics.
