Default High idle at startup

In the mornings it(4.7L, 08)zooms to 1500 for about 30 seconds. Normal?

Never looked at what rpm exactly but it does idle higher for a bit when the engine is cold.

On initial start up mine goes close to 1500 but quickly drops to normal range. Sometimes you can hear the rough idle but not always. Need to clean the TB
