I was so enamored by the smoke morph hen Wild Turkey I photographed in the west desert mountains two days ago I went back yesterday to see if I could find the same turkeys again. I found them and her but it was a different turkey in the same flock that turned out to be the star of the show.
In two of my recent posts readers met the male and female individually but in this series we see them interacting as a pair, including mating..
With a voyeuristic magpie and evidence of additional drama on the ice thrown in for good measure.
Black-billed Magpies just can’t be trusted and yesterday morning this bird proved it again. Twice.
If you’re using a DSLR camera you aren’t photographing what you’re seeing through the viewfinder. Two days ago that phenomenon was responsible for me photographing a magpie that I had no clue I’d photographed.
Or perhaps it was a combination of revenge, anger and frustration. Or something else but I doubt it was simply play.
