Driveway Jolene

A lovely, fairly large female turkey was hanging out by my car this morning, pecking critters from the dirt. She seemed pretty oblivious to the chucking sounds coming from up the hill out of sight - just once raising her head with a low gobble in what I assume was a response - when behold, the male turkey in all his regalia appeared quite a ways up the road. He walked downhill towards us ever so slowly, tail fanned out and singing his song of adoration when suddenly, like a little black bullet, another smaller and thinner female came racing downhill and passed him by hooting and hollering straight for Jolene. Jolene could’ve cared less about either of them, or so she wanted us to believe, as she continued walking along eating tasty grubs in her fancy dress.
