Thanks for looking, David. The turkeys are in the floodplain of the
American River flowing through Sacramento County. This part of the
floodplain has walking trails and a golf course so the turkeys are
accustomed to seeing non-violent people. This particular bird was so
accustomed to people that the minimum focus distance was an issue.
