Here's a picture of 3 male wild turkeys that were strutting around trying to impress a couple of hens. They were in the field behind my house.

Here's one more close up. It was about ready to storm so the light wasn't too great.

I just noticed that I attached the wrong pic of the winner of the strut-off. I had some pretty bad vignetting going on in that one. This one is better.

Great pictures. I don't think turkeys would be good national symbols, but they do look like supreme court justices. grin

Nice shots. What scope/camera were you using?

Great pics. They have such colourful faces. First time I've seen a wild turkey like this.
