Turkey tom showing off for the ladies

Springtime means love is in the air and this handsome fellow was making sure the hens knew he was ready and raring. He would alternatively puff up and strut for the ladies then chase off a few other toms that were in the area.

It was a fun little ritual to watch and while their faces might not be much to look at, these guys really are cool looking.

This rafter of turkeys lives in the middle of suburbia at a local open space not far from where I live. Certainly it is a challenging environment for them and I do hope they continue to thrive as they are fun to see.
