Because it was less full of distracting vegetation for the resident paparazzo!
OK, full disclosure: These turkeys weren’t in Spring Creek Basin. But they were/ARE in Disappointment Valley, very close to the basin. And who doesn’t love turkeys?!
They have some gorgeous feathers, don’t they?
Another note: It’s hard to get in-focus photos of turkeys. Those little heads are harder to focus on than, say, big mustangs. 🙂
Love seeing them!!!
They have such an array of neat feathers. 🙂
Aren’t they cool?! They’re not usually this low (elevation-wise) in the valley. And I don’t know why, but I get such a kick out of seeing them! 🙂
Cool! We always love seeing these guys, and they do look healthy running around out there in the high desert!
Aren’t they great! I’m love the rushing after each other then stopping to get a bite. Yes, the feathers are so beautiful.
