Beauty Competition
We came upon a group of wild turkeys - the males were strutting, they were gobbling, they were making an awful lot of noise and not standing still for a second. Mating Time!!! One hen finally got pinned down to the ground by her suitor, he standing on top of her, she screaming - and her head being picked at by other females. A pretty cruel affair !!!!
Again, taken on Saltspring Island.
