turkeys (not you woodturners)
john lucas
There have been about a dozen turkeys eating right across the road from my yard. I don't have any long lenses so yesterday I decided to just try and get closer. I didn't have any camo on. didn't want to get shot by my neighbor. 
I got fairly close by staying behind trees and being very patient. Never could get them out in the open where I could get a good shot.

I wonder if it is the same flock that i see in my woods here in Southern Oregon from time to time and that my daughter who lives a bit south of Boston sees. They can fly, you know 
Wild turkeys are not the best fliers, .......

Are you kidding? They're sprinters, not gliders. They've been clocked at 55 mph in the air and 25 mph on the ground. Mine have no problem getting to the tops of my tallest trees, where they roost for the night, from a standing start.

Are those Eastern wild turkeys? They seem an odd color (White mixed in) for wild. There was a small flock in our neighborhood that had been mixed with domestic and had white in their coloration and they were a lot less elusive than pure wild.
