“Full Strut”. Eastern Wild Turkey
Great capture and nice framing.
A very impressive portrait, and I'm glad that you now shoot with your camera. When I think about killing an animal I always think about Aldo Leopold (I think it was Aldo Leopold but will surely be corrected if I'm wrong) saying that he watched the light go out of a cougar's eyes after he'd shot it, and he never wanted to kill again.
He belongs on a Thanksgiving card - wonderful capture!
I can understand why Ben Franklin wanted the Turkey to be the official national bird of the U.S>
