Interestingly, I found this guy crossing the road at about 2:30 in the afternoon. There were at least 3 hens in the woods. He didn't mind me all that much, but protested as the audience grew to 3 cars and people getting out of them to get closer. I understand curiosity, it's just frustrating...

Amazing shots! We have wild turkeys around here too, but I've yet to see a Tom display. Just haven't been in the right place at the time I guess.
ReplyDeleteExcellent post and wonderful pictures... I love the display game, funny to see!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots! A flock has been parading around in my yard for a couple of weeks. They are so fun to watch! I managed to get some decent shots last week that I posted, but had to take them through the window. If I come out, they put a distance between us. There have been as many as 5 Toms all strutting at once! What fun! Thanks

What a nice lookin feller!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat encounter and yes it does get frustrating when others show up. I am sure the tom didn't mind as he only had one thing on his mind, those dang turkeys are like men.
ReplyDeleteI really like the two from behind, they are very sharp and show the details in the feathers.
