Wild Turkeys

The other day I was wandering through the local cemetery with my camera and long lens (Tokina 150-600 mm) I frequently go here and find wildlife, especially in the Spring. On this day, I found two Tom Turkeys in display, and one Hen.





The hen was nearby, and when she called out, the turkey on the right answered her call.



She didn't seem interested in the males, and went off on her own.


I'm really enjoying all of the recent wildlife sightings.
