Red-Pepper noticed these while we were on a drive recently.
A few of the "toms" (the big make turkeys) were fanning out their tail-feathers, but they didn't want to face the camera when doing so. I tried for a while to see if they'd turn around, but they just weren't interested. Perhaps we will get some turkeys one day from @shalomacres and just raise our own, but we will have to see. Also, these photos were taken at quite a distance, so they are not the sharpest, but they still show off the incredible beauty of these wild birds. Enjoy!

It doesnt matter whether the photos were taken from a far, what I see here is a fantastic display and beauty of good life nature on those turkeys.
They are really looking good you know

I personally like Turkeys,and you managed to capture really good Photographs @papa-pepper
Very nice photos, I don’t often see turkeys or photos of them. Lovely capturing. How did you get so close or did you use a zoom?
ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM!
Amazing photography @papa-pepper, i like it
The pictures are still OK even though they are taken from quite a distance.
I run away from Turkeys except when they land in my pot of stew lol.
I keep some of them sometimes when i other for my broilers but just a few because they get wild fast and it's not that easy controlling them except in a fenced farm.
Beautiful creatures.
We have large flocks of wild turkeys in our area. The toms certainly seem to be camera-shy when displaying their lovely feathers. Sometimes the flocks spend a great deal of time in our yard. We had to put extra fencing around our garden to deter them from walking right in and ruining the plants. They can still fly in, but usually don't bother. Like deer, turkeys are beautiful when they are minding their own business and not trying to destroy one's garden. If I am going to preserve the produce for my own family to eat all winter, I have to keep the wildlife out all spring, summer, and fall. There's plenty out in the fields and woods for the critters to dine on instead!
Very good photo proof. I like this.
Wow! Amazing...
My son saw a tom the other day on a nature walk at school, he was amazed by all the colors, he compared it to a rainbow.
Beautiful feathers
Nasty head😜😜
At work we tend to mess around with them a bit. Just honk the horn on your car and listen to them gobble at you. We called on in from a hill across a canyon with a road cone and turkey calling phone app. They can cover some ground really fast.
Great photos👍🏻👍🏻
I'll have to try that!
Just a quick short honk works everytime. 😉
The proof of turkeys to prove you shot the photos was kind of a nice way to end the post. I do believe they are there. :)
Thanks for believing!
this chicken is very big and very beautiful, you have to have it also @ papa-pepper, i really like to see this chicken kalkum.
How big do they get ??
I always trust you because of the proof.
Good eyes, Red-Pepper! Beautiful birds and really tasty roasted! Do you think the male bird was trying to tell you something, @papa-pepper? LOL
You're right...one of these days I'm going to make a papa-pepper meme post.
Great photographs! Looks like Tom was doing OK with the ladies! LOL! Thanks for sharing!
Nice family pictures. :-)
Didn't even know the turkey have been seeing in my local region are not original but hybrids. Never knew wild turkey existed. Beautiful shots. Thanks for sharing @papa-pepper
