Great series. #2 clearly shows the difference between 22 and 36 MP. :)

Wonderful images.  All!  You bring out the character of those birds.  Nice, sharp focus, and the blurred background is just right.  No need for us to be distracted away from the subjects!  I am gla you waited to get the last shot with the head slightly lifted.

Really good series. Maybe Ben Franklin was right about preferring the Turkey to the Eagle.

I found this shot....one that I took as I walked a wide birth from behind them to about 60 feet/20 meters in front of them....
 
Not as "clean" as the others but it shows they were strutting before I got there.....
