Neat shot, John. I guess turkeys are not as dumb as I thought.

Just look at this shot. We could have had this "beauty" as our national symbol :-)

Beautiful image, Tyler! It almost looks like a fine B&W photo.

Thank you, James. It should be clear tomorrow too so we're heading to the local duck pond. With the cold weather there may be something interesting.

Thanks again - Cal

Neat shot, Ron. They hang upside down on our thistle bag. Cute little buggers.

I want to thank everyone for their kind comments. I really appreciate it.

I'll answer the questions here.

I use a Canon 10D with 300mm f/2.8 and 2x teleconverter with a 550 speedlight flash. This one was using a tripod. Most of my shots are hand held. I was 25-30 feet. I was more invisible years ago before I got fatter! Actually, I look for a tree where the birds are feeding then sneak up as close as I dare and just sit there, trying not to freeze, until the birds return. I took about sixty photos to get this one. Digital is great!

Thanks again - Cal
