" Fearless Conquest"
By: Michael Eardlely (St. George, UT)
I followed a flock of Turkeys through the lower tree line of a mesa in southern Utah, waiting for the lighting to be just right. It had just finished raining so they were very active looking for food. I perched near a tree and observed silently until the conditions where absolutely perfect. This Turkey seemed to be the most concerned about the safety for its flock members, so it kept a close eye on me, and in turn made for perfect posing for this shot. It made the 5 mile hike in the back country worth every second.
