Stealth Turkey

This is another image from last years Turkey episode. It has intrigued me ever since, if for no other reason than the geometry of the wing beat.

Canon 20D Canon 17-85 @ 59mm 1/200th@f5.6 with Flash fill iso 400 hand held. cropped to 8x10 ratio losing from the top.

Comments always welcome and appreciated.
Thanks for looking.
Neil

Far out Neil! The wings and tail are cool.

I see what you mean about the wing geometry Neil, I'm intrigued by it too. Neat shot!

Wow! you caught a turkey Bomber in the delta wing configuration. Hope it didn't drop any ordinance on you.

Very interesting capture. I like how you cropped this, makes for a stronger image. Not your typical view of a turkey that's for sure. Nicely done.

A fascinating image - I've not seen anything on the species like this before.
