As the Thanksgiving holiday approaches, our thoughts turn to turkeys -- the big, wild kind, not the birds you bring home frozen from the grocery store. Visitors to our website have uploaded many great photos of the noble Wild Turkey to our galleries. Our favorites are below.

Strutting: This turkey was in full display and calling out to nearby hens. Online member Wahoo Woman caught the bird in the act in central Florida.
Lookout: Kim Murray came across this bird at her local nature center. It was the only turkey in the flock to find a perch in a tree.
Young bird: This poult was resting after a long day of walking about. Jim snapped the shot.
Perfect match: This pair of Wild Turkeys, photographed by Denali47 near the Rio Grande in the spring, is, well... doing what turkeys do in the spring.
Buddy system: Igramlich found these turkeys wandering at Bosque del Apache NWR in San Antonio, New Mexico.
