Spring is in the air – at least the Tom Turkeys think so!

• • 2 Comments

Mike Reinhart found four Tom Turkeys displaying recently. The Toms are hoping to impress the hens nearby.

Just look at their beautiful breeding plumage. There is a LOT of different colors going on!

Fun Fact: Wild turkeys can swim if they have to. They pull their wings in close to their bodies, extend their tail feathers and kick!

Thanks to Mike for allowing me to share his photo with you here.

Breathtakingly beautiful day here today, with temps in the mid-60s. sigh...

    Hi Jeanne,
    I've been enjoying all your posts - thank you! - but had to comment on these lovely guys. Aren't they something! I know I'm impressed! I had no idea turkeys could swim, that's amazing!
