We adore our wild turkey groups - they are large, gorgeous animals,
flashing in the sunlight with more colors than their drab brown might
indicate.

For the past month or so, parades of a small cohort of males (often
brothers) and many more females have gone by our house in the woods.
They are mating and getting ready for laying. The hens will disappear
soon to tend their eggs. We haven't yet had any young males follow us
around - that would be really cool!

A documentary we enjoyed enormously (BBC nature photography!):
