Tom spies the hens…
He does his best “Come hither” !!!!
Oh, dear.
The hens run away from Tom.
This repeats the scenario I’ve seen in years past. At some point a “Tom” must succeed as invariably there are turkey chicks.
But on this day, this Tom’s “come hither” does not succeed.
That is one magnificent bird! Are they wild turkeys?
Margaret, Yes – wild turkeys. There a lot around. I only see the toms this time of year – otherwise see groups of hens and mid-summer the chicks. I don’t know where the toms go after they’ve had their fun!
