Great Capture PrimeTime, I've only seen wild turkeys once in my life, while is was visiting upstate New York. They seemed to be everywhere in the small town I was visiting.
Thanks for sharing these
Michael.

Great capture! They are pretty elusive creatures. I'm ready for Thanksgiving dinner now. I was running one morning in the back of my neighborhood and scared up a couple of turkeys. Unfortunately I don't usually run with a camera in my hand!

Another outstanding long range capture PT, you continue to deliver high quality pictures but I had to look Tom the turkey up on Google

Tom and his friends sure look pretty calm. They must have known you were harmless. And boy, for a large bird, those things can sure fly when they want too. Great job catching them on the ground.

Grat shots of an elusive bird! And to get a rafter at that. Good hunting and shooting.
