Field Notes

Notes:

It was pouring with rain when I spotted a flock of about 20 female turkeys in our front yard. By the time I got out there most of them had disappeared into the woods but I was able to get a few shots of the few that remained. They are looking pretty bedraggled because of the rain - & so was I after standing out in it for 10 minutes trying to get in a few photos!

Thanks pyoung! Ashish, they do... & that's exactly what I thought before I went out to check!
Very good photo, I never see them in the wild!
Suddenly they give look of Vultures...
Almost as wet & wild as I was!
