Wonderful image, Brian. Looks like Tom Turkey posed especially for you! f/l
Brian Wallace replied:
Thanks Ann, for the nice comment and the L/F. I took this picture of the free-range turkey on a large property from the window of my car with a 300mm zoom lens. I could see several people on the property curiously gazing at me. When I was done, I waved my hand at them and they seemed to be eased by that gesture.

Thanks William. That was the first time I had seen this type of display. It was from a great distance and I used my 600mm lens to capture it.
