I had a lucky encounter yesterday and found a group of Wild Turkey in an open field. Since I have my camera with me most of the time, I was able to get several photos of the flock before they left. There were three gobblers trying to strut their stuff.
The gobblers were having a lot of fun while the females were feeding.
It was a fun encounter and I was happy to be a part of the action.

I don't often see the males hanging about, usually just the females. Nice photos. I like the dove in the header, too. Every time I come here you have a wonderful new photo up top.
Great shots Tom!
I haven't seen any males yet. Yesterday Mama and her babies walked through. They were drenched by the rain and the babies are getting hard to tell the difference now.
It sure pays to keep that camera handy.
Mine's here:
Carletta’s Captures.
Good captures Tom!
It looks like some young boys strutting their stuff, no visible beards.
Have a great weekend my friend, I'm off to the lake now to wet a line....
Wow, they stayed that long? They sure are big.
I just can't see turkeys without thinking Thanksgiving.
Lovely banner you've got, too, Fishing Guy.
Yes, it was your lucky day!
Great shots, FG!!
Nice pictures, Tom! They are stout and really fill up the frame!
What a cool sighting. The strutting males are cool shots. thanks for sharing your turkey critters.
Okay, were you in my back yard? I mean, this is something we see all the time...and hear...turkey's being noisy and they chase cats...did you know? thanks for sharing!

I wish we had these in the wild over here... you caught them so well and shows the sense of always having a camera handy..
Wild turkey! I've never imagined them in the wild before :)
Really well done! Or lucky - who knows! I'm doing a post on them, with a video of turkeys tomorrow! I'll link to your shots!
That's a good encounter, Tom and you got excellent photos of it. I haven't had any good photo ops with turkeys lately, but it should pick up soon.
Thanks for the plug for the DVD set in your comment. It is much appreciated.
Wow a great capture! Makes me long for Thanksgiving dinner.
RUN Turkey RUN!!!

These do look like good eating Tom. :)
Nice. Hope you strutted your stuff along with the other Toms.
Haven't seen any turkeys in a while here. Nice capture. I try to take my camera everywhere also. Then forget to take pictures.
Nice captures Tom.
Neat Tom... We have turkeys up here --but I've never seen the males... They are so pretty. You captured some great shots.

I never thought of turkeys as pretty, Betsy from Tennessee. Ha. These are gorgeous, though. Wow.
Can't wait till thanksgiving!!!
Wow, there are still wild turkeys roaming around? Awesome shots of these birds! (It's amazing that they aren't in the freezers of the supermarkets - LOL) Enjoy your day :)

I really like the picture of the gobblers strutting their stuff. Wonderful catch.
Extraordinary sight. It must be lovely to see them in the wild.
How fun to see all these wild turkeys. Thanks for sharing. I've shared Wild Bear photos at Small Reflections this week.
Hugs and blessings,
I have only seen a group of hens, so this was a treat. They are a very manly flock...lol... Michelle
Hanging with the boys...great shots of all those toms..tom!
I love running into flocks of turkeys..they always give you some kind of behavior that is worth photographing!!
Neat feathers, but boy are their heads ug-ly!
Wow...that's a lot of turkeys! Great shots. They better run, with Thanksgiving coming up.
