It's that time of year again, Spring, when love is in the air...and the wild turkey's take over the roadways.
Whether you can see them or hear them off in the distance they're everywhere!
The Tom's are relentless in their pursuit of love and affection from the tired and weary hens.
There were about 5 or 6 Tom's in the pics below, each trying to out do the other, with their dancing and puffing and strutting. As the hens would scoot off, the Tom's would follow, often stopping in the middle of the street to prance around, most of the while bring traffic to a complete stop.
I am noticing that some vehicles no longer stop or even slow down when approaching a love struck Tom in the roadway. Seems they're okay with running them over. No question their appeal is waning, as these are common sights now and people are in too much of a hurry to get to where they're going.
