April 29, 2008 – It was 24 degrees this morning. The winds have kicked up and it is snowing! Ah, Michigan in the springtime! The turkeys have been coming into the feeder all month. The hen that is nesting around here comes in quite often and you never know what suitors may be following. I have seen three different jakes and one mature tom so far. They have all put on quite a show and they have given me the opportunity to take lots of good photographs.
Young Love - two jakes (immature toms,
notice the longer center tail feathers) Speaking of displays, there is a male cowbird that comes to the feeder every day. He must see his reflection in the Plexiglas as he faces the glass and then puffs up, spreads his wings and then bows. He does this over and over, pacing up and down the feeder tray. |
