Crash Landing

Sometimes the patient trail camera rewards you with a real gem.  A gorgeous sunset, a new critter, a perfectly composed photo and sometimes an action shot.  This is a series of circus shots courtesy of the busy camera at the turn in the trail a few hundred yards from the house.

A sequence of burst photos of an adult bird coming-in for a landing amongst a brood flock of poults.

 

If you're observant you've noted a couple of things.  Wild turkeys land (and take-off) vertically.  The poult on the right has his tail fanned (unusual) and kept it fanned the entire time.

Amazing.
