Turkey Trot

I have been waking up to the sound of gobbling wild turkey toms lately. I am not complaining about the early wake up calls though. Turkeys are beautiful (in a turkey-kind-of-way). Turkeys are also interesting and maybe even smart (maybe). But turkeys destroyed my garden last year so you can understand my understated enthusiasm at their invasion of the area. This summer I intend to keep them OUT of the garden. Maybe then I can begin to appreciate the finer points of turkey (maybe). In the meantime I grudgingly admit that the strutting turkey trot of the toms makes for an interesting video. Enjoy!

The video shows three toms showing off while the hens keep on feeding.
