They had just crossed the railroad tracks and the Wild Turkeys were crossing the road out in front of me. They were in a hurry but I was able to get a few shots before they disappeared. I really got lucky with the Whitetail buck. He showed himself around the six o'clock hour, pm. I was able to take many pics of this guy, he seemed to like being around the does, tis the season you know. I don't think the rut is in yet, but there may be an early doe in heat. He wants to be there when she's ready. Cruising the country roads, a field of hay had been cut and unfortunately for some wild critter; it had received the bad side of the sickle and became vulture food. Here you will see a small gathering gorging. A little bit of trouble identifying the warbler and the sparrows. If my ids are incorrect please let me know.

That buck has a beauty of a rack on him ..I couldn't get a point count!
Great shot of the clean up crew...handsome aren't they..lol!
When it comes to the Sparrows... unless they have a "very distinct" marking I'm useless,but they are nice photo's!!
Your Warbler is a cutie!!
Keep Roaming

A wonderful variety of nature images, Larry! We have a family of nine Wild Turkeys living on our property and it's very difficult to photograph them. You did a fine job!
The antlers on that handsome White-tailed Buck are magnificent. Too bad the young lady is not interested. Try, try again.
I believe your second sparrow is a Song Sparrow and your last two shots are of a female Common Yellowthroat. Beautiful! Always a joy to visit your blog!
loved the turkeys and the buck! wow!
Nice photos of the buck, particularly nibbling on the tree. I enjoy watching turkeys as they make their rounds. It seems like very few years ago that there were none here in the Mid Ohio Valley.

Grace, thank you. I would like to see the turkeys more often, it's always nice when I do. The buck has 6 points on one side and 5 on the other.
Thank you so much Julie for the ids on the birds. I'll make the changes right away.
Thank you Theresa :)
Nellie, thank you for the comments and the visit to my blog.
Great shots as always Larry!
