This turkey poult and its brothers, sisters and their mother hen took refuge in this tree as the sun was going down along the American River in Sacramento a few years back. Thanks for your thoughts and suggestions.

This is a fine look at this youngster, Ed. The pose and the details both in the bird and it's perch look great.

This is really nice, Ed. It's neat to see one in a tree and unusual to get a nice shot of a youngster with such beautiful light.
