Turkeys

Just found this site thanks to Randy Lawson. Looking forward to seeing some great shots. These were taken in Cades Cove back near the vistors center this past October. - SandyLee

Pretty cool Sandy. My first impression was that the turkeys were strutting, displaying their stuff. But I always think of Wild Turkeys doing that in the spring not in October. So you got some nice 'fluff'.

I like the second photo's warm colors. I think the visitor center and the area/fields where they keep the horses is one of the best places to photograph wild turkeys at Cades Cove.

Very nice Sandy. I was at Cades Cove in Sept and again in Dec but all the turkeys I saw were nose down in the grass. These are more interesting than any of my turkey shots.

PS. Glad to have you Sandy!

Welcome Sandy!

Just behind waterfowl turkeys are my favorite. I'll spend a lot of time each spring. These are some nice shots and those are two stud gobblers. Glad you found the site Sandy and look forward to more from you.

Welcome to WSN! Great shots of the toms. Those 2 are huge!

JC - These guys were "preening" not strutting. I sent my dog around the back of them in order to get both the heads up at the same time. - SandyLee
