My Best Turkey Shots

Thursday November 13, 2008
Confession: I've never cooked a turkey... but I've shot a few! With my camera, of course.

We only think about turkeys at Thanksgiving time, it seems, but they're fun birds to observe year-round at New England farms and in the wild. Enjoy these photos of turkeys I've run into during my New England travels, and if you have a New England turkey photo of your own to share, here's how to submit it.

Turn to my New England Thanksgiving Travel Planner if all of these turkeys remind you that you still need to make your holiday travel plans!
