Wild Turkeys usually very wary

I photographed the Wild Turkey, above,  in a  field just south of the King Road, on the west side of Dufferin Street.   Wild Turkey hunting season in Ontario is April 25 to May 31.

Normally Wild Turkeys are very wary  birds and do not wander out into large open spaces, especially alone.    They prefer to flock together with others of their species, and run or fly for cover in forests or brush when alarmed.   Since their re-introduction to Ontario several years ago, they have become immensely prolific.
