This wild "Tom" turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) is in full display mode: tail up, wings down, wattle red and swollen. Most people assume turkeys only display like this in the morning. However, this old bird was set on impressing a hen just a half hour before sunset. There's no time like the present. From 35mm negative.
