Default Run, Bird, Run
This guy was in our driveway yesterday, so I spent a good 20 minutes running around after him. Not a very smart bird!

Beautiful bird, M. Is that a female turkey or a pheasant? I love the colors! Great motion in the first...looks like he's trying to make a getaway!! TFS

You really are a story teller, aren't you? The story I'm wishing for is shots of you trying to get these photos. That must have been hilarious. What is that? I've never seen anything it.

Yeah Martha, I agree with Linda, I would love to have seen you prancing around with your camera chasing this thing! Well done. PAUL

Next time you are in this siutation, can you have a back up photographer taking photos of you chasing the bird around?
I like the way in the last one it looks like its actually about to tell you to stop chasing it
