Wild Turkey specifically. I just thought it was a good title considering all 4 males were chasing around the female. Looked like a bar scene :)

And here's where she let down her guard, and they move in to try a line like "Where's the referee? Because I spot a foul"

And here is the sad lonely walk home alone, when all has failed

Thanks. I was pretty excited when those were the first things I saw when I got out of my Jeep this morning.

I like them! The last one is a good action photo, but the group shots, especially the first, are real nice. So much good turkey color!

Thanks all :) I'm new to this long glass thing, and as this is for pure pleasure instead of pay, I appreciate all C&C.

Thank you all for the kind comments. As to the color, yeah, you can tell in the first two images, when they are strutting, they become a lot more colorful (necks get more red, face a little more blue). In the last pic where the male is just walking away, you can tell that the colors tone themselves down. Was fascinating to catch the mating ritual.
