Sometimes "be careful what you wish for" works for the good guys. Just mentioned to someone the other day how difficult it is to get close to turkeys. Just outside my basement office window this morning was a flock of 10, this one among them.

Great shot of a delicious bird. You need to tell him to step back a bit so he fits in the frame. ;)

I agree with canonloader - delicious looking bird.

Hey, wait a minute. I think I elected that turkey last November....what's he doing in NH?

If I'm not mistaken, that's a hen with a beard.

NH is where all the turkeys get their start.

Coming from a man named George, that's admitting a lot. :D :D :mrgreen:

Welcome to the forum. Nice capture, my sister lives in Hopkinton and often has 20 to 30 walk through her backyard.

Nice picture. I live in Bedford, NH and it's kind of ironic that I saw a pair of adult turkeys today. I just moved here from Manchester last May so I'm anxiously awaiting the spring this year for more photo opportunities! :)

Is the Wild Turkey made by the Walker family? ;)

Thanks for the kind words folks. The appearance of the turkeys makes up for the lack of variety this year. We have tons of chickadees, titmice and nuthatches, a few woodpeckers, a very few goldfinches and three bothersome crows.
