Wordless Wednesday: Happy Thanksgiving

I took these photos at Litszinger Road Ecology Center (an Urban Nature Reserve) spring 2006.

Two Tom Turkeys (males) facing off.



Two Tom Turkeys trying to impress a Hen Turkey (female).
Can you see her? She's much smaller and to the right of the males.

    The poor guys: all fluffed out and no place to go. The hen looks rather disinterested (so far). These sure are classic looking turkeys, though. Happy Thanksgiving.

    It's the same with any species isn't it?

    Furred, feathered, two legged or four- the lengths males will go to impress a female...
    Nice shots.

    Hope you can stop by!
    Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

    I love how thematic your photos are today. Can you tell how unimpressed the female turkey is with the two "toms"?!! Great shots!

    They sure are beautiful, too bad they taste so darn good.

    Happy WW and Happy Thanksgiving!

    I think they are conspiring to hide after watching the Sarah P. YouTube interview with the turkey killer working in the background!

    Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
