Quail, turkeys, pheasants
Ring-necked Pheasant in
snow, taken with my old camera
They stick out like a
sore thumb in fields like this one.
Two roosters, winter
time.
A lovely, colorful
bird.
Same bird, closer
up.
These two roosters were
fighting way in the distance, but I caught them in
the act.
Same two.
More.
Ready to blend in.
Another rooster. I need
some hen shots, but they're very skittist.
Turkeys in a field near
Quivira Wildlife Area. This is how they look from far
off.
Springtime, starting to
court.
Check out the beards on
some of these Toms.
Two Toms, squaring
off.
The ladies don't seem to
notice.
But, then, the hens
aren't so hot looking anyway!
In the end, another
generation does come about.
Bobwhite male (L) and
female (R) scurry away.
Another male and female
Bobwhite. They're not that easy to photo as they run
really fast and blend in with background.
This male posed for me
to take a photo.
Closer up. One of my
best ever shots. He flew away right after I snapped
this one.
