Wild Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo)

We counted 50 of these turkeys at one of our state parks last week. I had to laugh when we noticed the hens were outnumbered and totally ignored all the toms.

Wow Vicki... what wonderful detail you've got showing there. Their plumage is really quite attractive, isn't it.

A super picture - thanks lass.

Lol, the males do have some extravagant displays! Great capture of these two. It seems the Toms spend more time trying to impressive each other opposed to trying to impress the hens! Brilliant work Vicki!!!!
