5/11 Turkey Lurky

I am back at Bullard's Beach for a nice, quiet day of relaxing and getting work done.  

I have been woken up most mornings by the gobbling of turkeys but have not been able to get out and take any photos until today.  Here is a hen. 

And a couple of toms.  You can identify them by their red hood and the black "beard" that hangs down.  I thought it might be feathers, but looked it up and it is made up of fibrous hairs. 


What?  What?  Anything going on? 

Frankly, the hen seemed unimpressed with her two followers and just moved away, as she chose to. 


Very good view of this tom's beard in this photo.
