Early Morning Entertainment

I'm sick as a dog with a cold and shouldn't even be at the computer, but I just have to share the entertainment in my backyard this morning. This guy showed up while I was having breakfast:

He was soon joined by three pals:

The four turkeys performed a preening dance, moving slowly forward and backward. They sometimes looked like a lead singer and his backup vocalists:

There were a few females rummaging around in the brush. They didn't seem to be paying any attention:

Hey Bonnie those pictures are great. I remember our turkey's on the yard doing the same dance. It's mating season.
Take care of that cold, gets worse get yourself in to the Doctor.
Love, Mom

What an amazing spectacle, those turkeys. I'll have to show my family those pictures this evening.

Wow, that was great. We occasionally get deer wandering through and we're overrun with squirrels and bunnies, but no turkeys. Loved your photos.
