Eastern wild turkeys

We often see wild turkeys in the farm. This usually happens in the earlier part of the morning or in the evening, when they walk out of the woods to feed in the pastures. That's why I was surprised today to see a flock of wild turkeys right in the middle of a pasture during the hottest part of the day. I took a few somewhat blurry photos, but when I tried to get a bit closer the birds became alarmed and flew over my head into the woods. Here are two of the better images.
