That’s great you got a large group of them! Biggest one we saw was a group of 10 foraging one rainy day two years ago. Our son loves turkeys so he had a blast watching them from the car lol.
A good use for the telephoto lens you have! Looks like you were a lot closer than you probably were!
Yes, I almost passed by. I barely caught a glimpse of the two under the pine tree with the one that was sitting (on eggs perhaps?). I stopped and backed up a bit for better view, took a couple pics, and then here came the rest that were in thicker cover. Was very good timing. Yes, looks close with the super zoom, but these were across the gravel road and into the field a bit, about 30-50 yards away, and I cropped the shot of the one in the road that was actually 50-60 yards. The high resolution of this camera (61MB raw) allows for some incredible cropping while keeping detail.
