Goodness Susan, I thought it was thanksgiving, coming early! lol This is a good shot, especially as I would imagine that had the turkeys known you were about, they would not have been "grazing" so peacefully. lol Well done my friend! Steve :o)

We have those in our neck of the woods..they are big and clumsy and dont fly well but they are cool to look at and listen too.and i bet they used to make a great thankgiving bird...when thats what they had...I prefer a high bred.lol.This is a wonderful photo and i am so glad you had good news..

I wish we had wild turkeys. We have only wild chickens and they are causing a problem in our garden. Beautiful green colors. Always praying for your good health... Aloha

How beautyfull Susan...so peacefull and happy this image looks. Sorry to hear about your bloodpressure. For me helps to make long walks whith my dogs. :9 take care hon and big hugs Ilona

Great colour and a pleasant composition. Glad to see you upload. Good luck with your appointment.

Great capture with excellent presentation. I'm glad you made your appointment and hope the medication helps to lower your BP quickly. Take care, you're precious. Mike

Very nice excellent work!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh how much fun was taking this shot. Excellent!

Always nice to be able to capture them in the wild so to speak

What a lovely scene! Unfortunately, I am cooking one of their kind today for our Thanksgiving Dinner (Canada's Thanksgiving falls in October). Beautiful capture Susan and I am thrilled to hear your news!! Hope you are still putting on weight and sounds like you are doing so well. Bravo!!!

What a fun thing to see all those turkeys - great shot! Glad you are feeling better. CC

Great shot of these birds! Its about turkey hunting season so more and more will be out and about. Enjoy them now because they have a sixth sense and the day hunting season opens, they will all disappear! :-) Funny how they know when to hide... LOL I'm glad you are making your appointments. And what better day than Halloween? :-)

I guess this would be very rare. I don't know for sure, for I've never seen any up close. Cute pic. Huggs...Silkylady...

I have seen these in my neck of the woods also, very nice Susan......Hugz, Vicki

Hope all is well with you hun HUGE HUGS hope all turns out ok - this is sooo cool - great shot of Wild Turkey ;) and full of gobble gobble I see - its getting to be that time o year so they ought to think about hiding lol S Ty so much for sharing this hun S

I live in a city so we don't see any kind of wild animals, great shot, I love the colors! Glad you are feeling better!

Alot of hunters go for these guys every year. Sad because there are so many of them at Krogers, and I prefer the tame birds ANY day! By the time they spend all of that money on ammunition, and all that hunting junk they need, they could probably buy 4 or 5 Butterballs! This is a cool capture. Good thing you got it now. In a month or so they will be in hiding! Hugs...glad you got that little piece of dirty business taken care of. One step at a time, hon. Still praying for you.

What a delight to see these wild Turkeys! Lucky & Blessed! Bravo Susan!

Sis...love this...one of your best...!!! Super done!!!!

I am glad that you have the courage to go. your life is too important to allow an ailment take it away. I have never seen wild turkeys that I remember. you made an excellent capture of them. they are very beautiful

WOW These are awsum looking. I dont recall ever seeing one up close!! Xcellent

Susan what a great shot: My niece in Canada almost got chased down by these big fellows just last week ,as she rushed to her car in a hurry but managed to get a photo I took the photo and made some comments back to her I will post it for you soon great shot and hope things go well for you: hugs ))

So, your shooting Turkeys early? Great shot! I know many complain about gophers, cats, and such in their backyards... But how many get turkeys? How convenient...lol. Might as well have a flock of wild hamburgers stroll by. Ripe for the pluckin. Of course, I couldn't kill one, turkey that is..., I can kill a hamburger in about two bites though. Actually, very glad I don't have to kill anything I want to eat. I've eaten many times my weight, of cows, over the decades and sure hope those cows don't hold it against me someday. Anyway, great photo here Susan and hope all goes well at the doctors on the 31st. Hugs from Dave :^)

Wow what a sight! I have never seen wild turkeys in real life. I have seen a lot of other things, but not turkeys. I hope none of them end up on someone's dining table at Thanksgiving, though. :o) ((((hugs))))

I'm sure they were saying, "Eat Chicken!' WINK. Excellent shot! My best.

Hahaha... shudders. One of these critters tried to kill me... Was on an interstate doing 70 early in the mornning... and out of the corner of my eye saw something, next bang... or thump... had flew into the side of my truck. a second or two earlier and it would have came through the window... a second or two later, and it would have missed me. Didn't kill it. Hit my breaks and before could stop. It got up and walked into the woods on the other side of the road... Life lesson for me though.

Gobble, gobble, gobble! Fine pastoral capture of the wild fowl! Is the grass really that bright green, or was it postworked to have effect?

Endangered species this time of year. Like TP only think Pig, the other white meat! 5+5 Peace

Beautiful! I love nature photos. I envy your cousin for living somewhere where he or she can see scenes like this in the backyard.

Wow I caught a glipmse of the words wild turkey and rushed off for a glass and some ice lol, lovely capture!
