Turkey Boy by

Wild Turkey taken with my Nikon D60 w/200mm Lens in Dripping Springs, TX USA These wild turkeys came for a visit! I grabbed my camera and shot pics for over an hour. It was a mostly cloudy day. I tried several different settings using Shutter priority and Aperature priority. For this one I used Shutter Priority and spot metering.
f 4.8 1/125 second ISO 250
