Thanks for the great comments Sparkle and Alandra,they are probably as close to eagles that I will get. LOL

Thanks for the great comment Lorraine,these wild turkeys get a big as 18-20 pounds.They do fly quite often,in the late afternoon,you can see them fly into the tall pines to roost for the nightand if you gey up at daybreak you can see them fly down to the ground again.

A lucky capture with there wings spread, they still must be quite a heavy bird, wouldent have thought they would take flight all that often, but they must do.
