Impressive looking bird Morgan, I think he'd better keep his down until after the new year

Thanks for sharing... the Turkey is really an underrated bird - just like the Peacock. Since Man has domesticated them they lost a lot of their natural beauty (in perception of course). If Turkeys were not domesticated and were rare, imagine the excitement one would get in seeing a display like this in the wild? It would put the Prairie Chicken to shame!

Sweet shot. To me a wild turkey is one of the prettiest birds going - love that chestnut color.

Nice one, Morgan. It shows the detail well, which is hard with this big a bird.

Morgan,

This turkey gave you a very lovely display, the colos of the bird look great. The sharpness looks good but at this size I am always hesitant to evaluate sharpness and detail. I would have liked to have seen this posted larger. Nice eye contact.

Happy Thanksgiving.
