I was able to get some pics finally last weekend of some Rio turkeys in the central coast of California.
Camera was an Olympus 2100 UZ with a Olympus B300 1.7 tele lens.
I found a flock of turkeys on a private ranch where I've filmed them before. No one can hunt these turkeys so I can also call them to get them fired up for some strut pics. Here is one tom in the shade of a group of trees in late afternoon.
One of the jakes
It had been raining for several days and the toms had shut dwn pretty good. I tried just about all my calls trying to get a reponse. Finally one old tom had enough of my fighting purrs and he jumped up to chase there 2 poor jakes around who just happended to be nearby. One tom finally gobbled when the ranch dog ran up and startled him.
