Turkey toms battle for the ladies

A fun bit of action for #TurkeyThursday.

Last weekend I happened across our local rafter of turkeys and stopped to grab some pics as the toms were really putting on a nice show. While I got some good pics of them fluffed up and strutting, it was more fun watching them chase each other away from the ladies.

It was a cool little bit of action and I was kind of surprised at how fast they can move when they want. Women do have that effect sometimes.
