I happened on these wild turkeys in suburban Barnstable one day last summer... I think they were pretending to be robins or sparrows, hoping they'd have their act together enough by november so as not to be picked off for Turkey Day... Have a great THANKSGIVING! And for everyone else, have a great THURSDAY!

Wow ! Are they ever colorful! We have flocks of them up here, including toms, but none as pretty as these guys. They won't have a worry from me. Mine's all packaged up and just waiting to be popped in the oven tomorrow!! Happy T-Day to you too, my friend.

Absolutely great Mary. We have wild turkey's here too. I saw quite a few while deer hunting but could never get close enough for photo. Glad I didn't because this is perfect. Thanks for sharing. Happy Thanksgiving again.

What did the turkey say to his psychiatrist? "DOC, I KEEP HAVING NIGHTMARES OF SOMEONE CRAMMING BREAD UP MY BUTT!"

I see you brought the turkey. Only thing that would make this better is if it was in a cranberry bog. Good capture. Happy Thanksgiving Pilgrim.
