Wild Turkey Polt: Arundel, Maine, USA, July 2026 — when driving back from Emmons’ Preserve yesterday, an oncoming truck flashed its lights at me. I checked. I was not speeding, and I did not know the driver—but then I came up over a little rise to find two hen turkeys and a dozen well-grown polts in the road. I grabbed the camera and rolled down the window in time for a few shots before they realized that I was going to let them cross the road—and they did just that—the whole bunch of them—disappearing into the dense forest on the other side. Thank you, unknown truck driver. Thank you, turkeys. Sony a6700. Sigma 16-300 Contemporary at maybe 600mm equivalent. Program with birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Photomator.
