Filming turkeys while laying on the ground out in the open! I went out at daybreak to catch an early spring dawn chorus (birds singing). I love it this time of year as migrators are slowly returning! I decided to walk along the back of the field I was at to look for animal tracks in the mud. A flock of turkeys that I'd hear surprised me by flying down into the field and landing about 70 yards away. I managed to get to the ground and lie flat. But they got curious and came my way to as close as about 7 or 8 yards! All while I laid flat on the ground out in the open! I LOVE these close encounters and the chance to observe and listen to behaviors and vocalizations!
