A couple of wild turkeys took an afternoon stroll through my brother's backyard while we were there on vacation. They definitely aren't what I'd call handsome up close, but during spring mating season they are rather impressive in full strut.

I once read ugly can be beautiful, even when it is not pretty...Earlier this year I was able to photograph a large group of wild turkeys in the pasture. Two males were "strutting their stuff". They are fascinating to watch. As usual, great photos!
Such a UNIQUE looking bird :) GREAT captures!
Cool closeups of the Turkeys, Brian!
Nice shots Brian, but they sure are ugly birds!
Turkeys really are ugly closeup.
Love those iridescent turkey feathers- Great captures Brian!
You got me thinking about Thanksgiving!! LOL Great shots
that nose hair thing is pretty awful, but love their metallic sheen!
once saw a window display in NYC of a turkey made out of silver spoons and other cutlery (it was thanksgiving weekend). that's what i think of every time i see a photo of that shine. :)
Nice shots, Brian. We have lots of wild turkeys around our house and you are right. They aren't always the prettiest of birds.
They do have vice colouration though!
must be a "tween" with all those pimples!!
Wonderful images Brian.. a face only a mother could love.
Not pretty at all.
Good close Ups!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Not handsome - but beautiful glossy feathers! Great photos.
They are a very homely bird but fun to see them in the wild.
Great captures!
impressive and great closeups; a good photo opportunity Brian; good to see you back with your blog
i like his eyes! that's what makes him cute!
We only have them in farms here in Sweden, not wild at all.
No, they are not top one in beauty :-)
Beautiful shots!
