Gobler's Patience

Lots of turkeys in the area with noticeable increase every year. This morning my wife saw a Gobbler near a tire planter along the stone wall in our back yard. By the time I got to the window he had wandered over to the neighbor's back yard. He was in full display, strutting his stuff with the his tail feathers in full span & his wings dropped. So, I looked for a hen & eventually spotted her. His courting was a demonstration of patience as each time he approached her, she would flutter off out of reach. I took about 25 pictures, but most of them reflected the camera off the window pane. Here is a picture of the Gobbler facing me with the hen on the left.

In some ways turkeys are like geese. & sea gulls. Reminds me of the chicken farmer who lost his chewing gum while feeding his chickens. Finally found one that was right after a dozen tries. :rofl:
