Lacking our usual partner
in crime (Becky),
Max (my dog) and I headed
out for a walk about the immediate area.
In typical Minnesota fashion,
we went from several days in the 90's
right down to a high today of 70.
Very windy and sunny made
for a walk we couldn't complain about.
Someone could though...
Do you see him?
I'll help you a little more...
As we approached,
several adult turkeys
and many, many baby
turkeys flew up and away.
Saddly, the babies were too fast for me
to photograph...
except for this one.
You can see the little one
towards the upper right.
This one was obviously the look out
and he was none too happy that he didn't
scare us away.
Bad enough I didn't fear him,
Max didn't even give him a second look!
Sensing his total frustration with us,
we left him to do his job.
It sure was fun while it lasted!

Great pics Jill, it took me a while to discover him in the first picture.
Have a great day!

Great pics! Love the wildlife out there!
Maybe it's a good sign they're too fast for the camera! That bodes well for hunting season.
Wild turkeys, I never heard of them! I should think it's useful for them to have a lookout, even if it is not a very scary one! :)
the thrill of the chase!! i know it well!!
Oh Jill, they are precious!... you know me and Nature... I can never get enough... xoxo Julie Marie
What a beautiful place to walk, and to come across wild turkeys is a bonus! Awesome!
You never know what is going to pop up out of the brush on a walk!

I saw something but I thought at first it was a groundhog. Turkeys that was so cool. sandie
How cool. I would have run away if I saw one. I am not fond of them or chickens or ducks. Great path to walk though. Seems very peaceful.

I have never seen a turkey in the wild before, let alone baby turkeys! Lucky you.

Love the pictures of the wild turkeys. What a sight to see.
Hi Jill -- I am your newest follower. Love this post. Great pictures of the wild turkeys. I have never been to Minnesota but have ancestors that came from there (Stewartsville, I think) so I would love to visit some day. I love your blog. Your photography is great. Looking forward to more posts!
Great pictures! I would have screamed! But that's just me, I'm usually afraid of my own shadow. Enjoy!
Lucky you to walk upon wild turkeys!! Don't you it? Awesome shots!
What a great walk with unexpected surprises!
Wow, what a great walk and awesome pictures, Jill! I just wanted to stop by to say "hi" and hope you're having a good summer!!!

Great pictures, Jill! I especially love the one of the lane. How cool that you saw baby turkeys!
Our temperature today is expected to be much cooler too. That's okay with us!
I love your turkey shots Jill. Yes, can see the baby one too. How cool is Max not to bother with them!
What a great find! And those turkeys are fast. Awesome captures.
What a turkey!!!:)
