Please, not while I'm hungry!

My wife called me outside with my camera to see this "giant bird" in our backyard.
With me being as hungry as I am right now I was glad I was holding my camera and not my Mrod else a poacher I may have become:

This is actually a double exposure of the same bird.

Very tempting,  would have been hard not to have drum sticks on the table tonight.

Cool.  The same exact thing happened here last weekend.  My wife says look out the window.  There were 3 turkeys walking through my yard about 45yds from the house.  3-4 days ago I spotted them in an open field about 1/2mi. from here.  The last time I spotted a Turkey around here was in the late '90's.  I am glad they are back.  If I spotted one at night in my backyard out of season, and I had a Condor near by or the 350 .22, I am not sure what I would do

Weirdest thing is, about an hour after I took those shots I'm sitting at the dinner table.  I look out the window and see the turkey fly up into a tree about 15 feet from my house.  He lands on a skinny branch about 15 feet up and just stands there for about 15 minutes, then takes off to the next tree a bit higher up.  I lost sight of him after that.  But that seems like odd behavior for a lone bird.

Sound's like he's looking for a place to roost for the evening. Ed
