Wild Turkeys have taken territory in a popular local conservation area the past couple of years, and they've become mega-accustomed to people. They've also had babies the past two years, and even then they stay calm and relaxed around human presence. I missed them last year, but this year made a concerted effort to get some images of the babies before they lose their cuteness. There were nine of them + mom sticking around close. This one poult came in real close. Such a treat!

Hi Daniel ... super sweet portrait of this chick .
nice comp , lovely fine details rendered in combo with a great iq as expected from yours .
color and tone right on the money for me , just wish for a bit more DOF .... you had room to bump up the iso .
Wickedly good. I have them at ILE and they are very, very skittish.
with love, artie
