Three Flying Turkeys
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
If I were a turkey, I'd fly away too!
I hope you have a wonderful time with your families, gathered around the turkey meal. We have so much to be thankful for.
I captured these flying turkeys 13 years ago as I was walking through the woods in February. You can see the snow on the ground of a field of golden grasses.
Not the sharpest shot but it fits the bill for the Holiday, so I'll post it anyway. That said, I do like the colors and their flying behavior a lot here.
Turkeys prefer to walk and run, but when surprised or chased by predators, they can fly very well for short distances.
They will also fly into the air and into a tree to roost for the night, which is what they were doing here. After they passed me here, I watched them disappear into some large trees to roost.
What a thrill to see this action up close!
