New Camera Shoots Wild Turkeys

My new camera came last night and what a toy! I ordered a telephoto lens, also, which should help make smaller wildlife, like birds, discernable. This afternoon, a beautiful flock of turkeys showed up above the house. Two males were in full display.
The lighting was a little challenging for a telephoto. I can't wait to have bright morning sun to shoot in.

The waddle brothers.

Fan male?

Making yourself look big is important to a Tom turkey.

I love the pictures of the wild turkey; your NEW camera took incredible photos of them. It's not often you get to see them all 'fanned' out. Clever comments under each photo too. They made me la

Great Turkey shots! I can't believe that was right behind the house. All the IBRRC stuff is really interesting too. That looks like lots of fun.
