Morning Gobblers

[RoyalPrudent]

Stepped out on the Front porch this morning and had a group of five hammering on a ridge about 150 yards away. These are birds that Move in and out of neighborhoods/agriculture, Haven't heard them in this spot before, but it was a great way to start the day.

One of the best ways to start the day. What part of the State?

Always nice to wake up to them like that. I had one across the road from me last week gobbling away.

Bachelor groups and even subflocks have completely broken up down here. We don't have large groups of birds, but the dominant toms have their 3 or 4 hens corralled up and are in full strut from before fly down until fly up. They are desperately trying to impress the ladies!

First hens should become receptive any day. Satellite birds are roaming with urgency.

Sucks juvie weekend is going to cold with 25mph winds Saturday, and 22 deg Sun morn here (cold really shuts our birds up compared to middle TN birds).

Going to check my 14yo daughter out of school early tomorrow to try to take advantage of the weather before it goes to pot Fri night.
