Wildlife, living next to nature

May be a shitty camera and may be through a windshield, but they are great pictures anyway. I've never seen a wild turkey from that close before.

I was using most of the 24x (optical) zoom.

Anyway, here's the driving, rolling down the window, videoing a turkey, short, shaky video I mentioned.

That's about a eight inch beard on that there turkey. This time next month, turkey season, he'd be a shooter.

Since the seventies MA has been actively building the wild turkey population(feathers not bottles), and they've become a huge pain in the ass.

The flockers travel in feathered biker gangs, think they own the joint, eat everything in sight, treat bird feeders as private stash, attack pets & kids, and will take out a windshield in a heartbeat. The damn things can run about 25 mph and fly at over 50 mph, so a 15 or 20 pound bird can hit hard. They're vying with deer to be the biggest pain in the ass.
