Always enjoy your photos.
Hope to get back to OK in December.
Wichita Mtn. NWF is one of my favorite spots.

Last Thursday, 23 October, my wife and I did a day-trip to the Wichita Mountains NWR. I didn't plan on photographing any particular subject, but we were treated to a large group of Wild Turkeys that included several toms strutting. Like I've mentioned to the group before, my birding experience is limited, so I don't know if this sort of thing is common or not. Wild Turkeys are fairly common on my property (Cleveland County), but I've never seen so many males walking around and strutting. It was very interesting to observe and very fun to photograph. I was actually having a problem with too many birds cluttering up the images. I've loaded all the keepers to a Flickr album that also includes a photo-lifer Rock Wren and a single head-shot of a Red-tailed Hawk: Fun with Wild Turkeys, Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge, 23 October 2025 | Flickr
Enjoy,Bryan
