As I was leaving Occoquan Bay National Wildlife Refuge on Friday, I spotted this small band of Wild Turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) foraging on the side of a small hill. I captured this image while I was seated in the driver’s seat of my car. I was stopped with my blinkers on and fortunately there was no other traffic. I like the way that the turkeys had spaced themselves out in a military-style patrolling formation.

We have 8-10 birds in our field every morning. 🙂
That’s really cool to hear. I am lucky if I encounter them once or twice a month.
Nice capture, Mike! This is another bird I often see just the butt end of when I have my camera. When I see them while driving they just make me laugh, they are just too comical.
