The Toms are strutting their stuff around these days trying to impress the lady folk

Cool shot. Waggle those wattles!

Great capture. I've been hearing them gobbling and have seen their tracks, but haven't come close to seeing them around here in a long time. They're majestic birds!

I never realized how beautiful their plumage is. Great capture!

Thank you all for your comments. We have a group in the area and their spring rituals are quite interesting.
I'm including a second photo which has another view of a Tom on "display". Their feathers take on an iridescent shimmer.

Man it is one tasty bird but one strange looking bird in the wild.

Love the colors of these birds. They are absolutely beautiful when displaying. Thanks for sharing these.
