Taken from a moving car with my Canon S2 IS using shutter speed 1/1000. I have lived in this area for a long time and never once have I seen a wild turkey, until today. Hope you like it.

Great Capture Don especially for crusing down the road! We used to have some around here a long time ago but have not seen any since. Thanks for posting this my friend. <>

We see them up here (or down here in your case, I guess) in NH all the time, but I can never get close enough to get a decent shot..good job on this one.

Impressive from a moving car. Were you driving, too? Looks like they wanted to get their toeseys out of the snow. Terrific job.

I am surprised...I thought maybe it was someone I knew. Very nice shot. Those are some fine looking Pheasant.

I'm 18 and don't travel much. But I tend to bring my camera around just to catch what sticks out from my everyday goings. *~* Gallery *~*

Wow ... this is a great shot Don. I see wild turkeys around my place every now & then. They can be very quick & have excellent eyesight as well. Super great work & thank you for sharing this one.
