Wild Turkey(Female)

I was driving along a backroad yesterday, and saw this Turkey crossing the road. I got out, and walked along the ditch...she was hiding under a bush. She saw me and took off..i managed a 1/2 dozen shots of her flying away. I didn't have the ISO/shutter-speed for this, as i just came from shooting flowers. I wasn't sure whether to post this, as it's not really clear, but i still like the shot..it was a very quick capture, but not everybody's seen Turkeys flying. She flew over the fully-grown trees..so she flew at least 300ft. and hit ~40 ft. in height. :) lol Not cropped, just downsized.
