Wild Turkeys... Toms Strutting Their Spring Time Stuff...

This is the season when male wild turkeys do what they can to get the attention of their female counterparts.  In this series of photos you will notice no females. I didn't hear any or see any, so maybe these guys were just practicing. Couldn't tell for sure but the show was entertaining.

Big chested and full tail feather fan, this guy is in full strut...

And here's the backside...

Bottoms up... Three Toms showing off...

Heads up...

Same guys, same tails...

This Tom seemed to be the dominant bird. He was always by himself and was larger than the rest.

No showmanship here...

This is a big mature bird...

Here he is strut'n' his stuff...

The backside fan...

There just has to be a female out there for him to be doing all of this...

Three gobblers...

A magnificent bird...
