Hello, dear friends! I hope that everything is well with all of you.
This is my first capture, in full body, of one of these lovely birds.
Before, I have only photographed heads, peeping from behind something... :)
This one was very curious, but always moving too fast...
Reserva Natural do Estuário do Tejo, Portugal
Among the largest birds in North America. The large-bodied, long-legged and small-headed look of a turkey is distinctive. Appears dark from a distance. Often seen in small groups in open fields near woods. Gobbling often audible in the spring and early summer. (eBird)

One of a gaggle of twenty turkeys, this immature bird looked like she was strutting down a fashion show runway.

Réalisé le 20 février 2013 à Chiang Saen, Thaïlande.
En Thaïlande, cette espèce est non férale. Celui-ci était en liberté, mais il provenait visiblement d'un élevage.
In Thailand, this species is non-feral. This one was free, but it obviously came from a farm.
Taken on February, 20th / 2013 in Chiang Saen, Thailand.

Chamaepetes goudotii goudotii (Sickle-winged guan / Pava maraquera)
The sickle-winged guan (Chamaepetes goudotii) is a species of bird in the chachalaca, guan, and curassow family Cracidae. It is found in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru.
The subspecies of sickle-winged guan are distributed thus:
C. g. goudotii, western and central Andes of Colombia south to Nariño Department
C. g. sanctaemarthae, Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta of northeastern Colombia
C. g. fagani, west slope of the Andes from Colombia's Nariño Department south to Ecuador's El Oro Province
C. g. tschudii, east slope of the Andes from southern Colombia through Ecuador to Peru's Department of San Martín
C. g. rufiventris, east slope of the Andes from central to southern Peru and isolated areas in north and central Bolivia.
The sickle-winged guan inhabits humid and wet forest, preferring tall forest but also found at edges and in secondary forest. The sickle-winged guan is generally a bird of middle elevations. In Colombia is mostly between 1,100 and 2,500 m (3,600 and 8,200 ft).

A species of bird that has been introduced into large parts Europe mainly in the name of sport and fun where some people get a kick out of shooting and blasting these stunning looking birds out of the sky. Now accepted as part of the countryside these birds will feed on our native reptiles though not their thought, all animals have to eat and again we are to blame for this.

This Big Boy avoided the Holiday Table... I'm happy he did :-)
The turkey is a large bird in the genus Meleagris, which is native to the Americas.
One species, Meleagris gallopavo (commonly known as the domestic turkey or wild turkey), is native to the forests of North America, mainly Mexico and the United States.
The other living species is Meleagris ocellata or the ocellated turkey, native to the forests of the Yucatán Peninsula.
Males of both turkey species have a distinctive fleshy wattle or protuberance that hangs from the top of the beak (called a snood).
They are among the largest birds in their ranges. As in many galliformes, the male is larger and much more colorful than the female.

This one did require a lot of editing. On the side of the main road on a bank against the skyline on a dull day in the rain. All the requirements for a cr*p photo. One eye on the camera, the other on the rearview mirror but I got 'im.
