I didn’t intend to use the backside of a turkey for a headliner, but you never know what you’ll find in the nature. I’d gone to shoot landscapes, ice laden lakes, and snow covered mountains, but wild turkeys were the gift I was given. It was a delightful morning at Rocky Mountain National Park, a cold and beautiful dawn that I will long remember. What are some of your unusual animal sightings in our national parks?

The pictures don’t load!
They finally opened. Love ’em!
Thanks Rajiv!
I’d forgotten all about this, but we saw a flock of turkeys in CO around Easter. We’re used to seeing them here in NW NC, and it was odd to see them there! We also saw a bighorn sheep with yellow caution tape wrapped around its neck. This was not in a park, though… So in a park, hmmmmm, I guess the oddest thing we’ve seen was a family of tourists chasing a bear cub in Yellowstone.
Now that doesn’t surprise me at all!
