Seeing double?

A pair of toms, male turkeys, seen strutting along upper Owl Creek. The mating season for turkeys occurs in the months of March and April. Males will attract females by "strutting." When they strut, they will fan out their tail feathers while dragging their wings on the ground, throw their head back, and take very quick, rapid steps. Male turkeys have 5,000 to 6,000 feathers covering their bodies.
