Wild turkey

This was one of two adults with 12 youngsters on the edge of Gatineau Park. They made such a cacophony of sound when I pulled up on a dirt road to try and get some photos! The youngsters were piping away and the adults were calling, so after a few photos I thought I'd better leave them in peace. They all took off anyway, far across a field, and they can really fly when they want to! Youngsters and all.

This is a wonderful capture Christine! Too bad they left without giving you a family portrait. V
