John ... I guess that it is "turkey porn" .... I prefer to consider them "behavior photographs" :rofl:

Radon ... Thanks for the comment. No hard work involved here. Since wildlife photography is my hobby it is all pure enjoyment .... and about an hour on my kness in the wet grass following the birds around!
