Four days ago in Box Elder County this hen Wild Turkey was perched in a tree in good light and close so I had to take her picture. The setting was cluttered but I don’t find turkeys in trees all that often and she stood out well enough so I fired away. I was hoping for takeoff and flight shots but she was content where she was for the entire time I was with her.<\/p>\n

I fully expected to find other turkeys nearby, either in the tree or on the ground, but she was completely alone which I thought was a little unusual. When I find turkeys in this area they’re nearly always in large flocks.<\/p>\n

She not only failed to cooperate with flight shots, she gave me very little pose variety. This is about as much variation as I got.<\/p>\n

Wild Turkeys aren’t the handsomest of birds and this setting won’t earn any prizes for aesthetics either. But she’s a bird in a ‘natural’ setting that works for her so I decided she deserved the spotlight today.<\/p>\n
