Wild Turkey Photos

My Favorite: You wouldn't think there would be large numbers of Wild Turkeys in a sparsely forested eastern South Dakota, but they seem to do quite well wherever there's even a little patch of cover, such as a farmstead or shelterbelt. This photo of a group of males showing off was taken near Yankton, South Dakota in February of 2008. The males would strut around, following each other and showing off. In other words...acting like human males. Love this photo where it appears they're all gathering for a little meeting, acting like who is the biggest of the big shots in the room.
