Flirtations

Looking through the screen door I noticed something different moving among the grass and flowers. 
I went outside. 
A blue-headed Tom Turkey was trying to impress somebody.
As he moved farther into the open he definitely impressed me!
Soon there were more but where is the hen?
Oh, there she is.  Do you see her?
They are almost too far away for me to focus clearly but it is close enough for me to see that those are pretty long beards.
They continued their courting ritual throughout the morning, entertaining my husband and me from a distance.
