Well caught and what an amazing looking bird.
Not sure if 3000th/sec wasn't a bit overkill for a big still bird but ISO 4000 looks good.

@ Phil.
Surprisingly, these birds are constantly on the move. He is standing on top of a turkey mound in which they lay their eggs and then over time, control the temperature of the mound by adding more twigs leaves and branches, or scraping them away. This guy ( yes it is the male's job to maintain the nest) lives right outside my back fence.
@Ken
They are really quite pretty in an ugly sort of way ; )
