Turkey Babies!

Another post about turkeys, since I can't find much else lately...

Still quite exciting, I found a bunch of baby turkeys with location advice from Rattlin Antler

I was pretty lucky, because this lil one was too curious to duck into the brush for cover. I'm sure his mom was none too happy either...



On a sunrise shoot the next day, I found them again, and just like my last post, they were on the wrong side photographically, but backlighting can be interesting.

Finally! Turkey and Babies!

I've mentioned before about seeing turkeys and babies for the first time ever about a month and a half ago. This past weekend, I finally was ALMOST ready for them when I drove down a backroad and saw another family. The camera was on my partners lap, ready for nothing. The lens cap was on, the barrel was not extended, the camera was not turned on, etc., which is not my usual style. I am normally armed, but...I did have all the necessary time to at least get the proof I wanted. The picture is not good, but I did manage to get 3 shots. They were too cute... for turkeys. Come on, they can't help it they are, well uh,--ugly!
