A common sight near the horse stables at Tennessee Valley, these wild turkeys are a fun to see up close. So remarkably ugly, but with beautiful plumage especially when a male displays.
So many people seem to be deterred by them even though they really can be majestic. Ben franklin wasn't crazy I think when he wanted to make it our nations bird. It's funny how I got the images of the wild turkeys on my blog. There is a Psychiatric Institution here and they have taken up residency in huge numbers, haha. I got permission to enter and had an awesome time photographing the displaying males. Awesome work as usual!
Yeah, they are definitely not the prettiest of birds at first glance, but I agree that they can be majestic. I remember those shots you took of the turkeys, and too funny about where you took them! I haven't seen them anywhere as unique as that, but I just recently saw a large flock feeding in a tidal wetland, which was pretty cool.
