Great photo of the male displaying! They are fun to watch, aren't they?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Beth. I never weary of seeing our local hawks or wild turkeys -- especially considering both were once extinct here.
ReplyDeleteIs that a turkey's version of mooning?
ReplyDeleteColleen: Haha. He's obviously courting the hens wandering through the nearby underbrush. Thankfully, he was content to show off his magnificent feathers and wasn't feeling aggressive.
ReplyDeleteIt's been a few years since I've seen wild turkeys. They're rather shy but wonderful birds.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing at http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2016/04/worlds-best-meatloaf-recipe-wordful.html
Sue: Yes, even though you'd think our urban birds would be used to humans, they tend to be rather standoffish. Still love seeing them whenever I'm out for a walk. :)
