While most families were preparing for Easter Sunday Service and thinking about Ham dinners, we were watching turkeys.
We almost always see turkeys in Wisconsin, but at T.J. Maxx? Weird.
Suddenly, we were surrounded by seventeen turkeys: two females and fifteen Toms. Gulp.
They did a little shopping at Wal-Mart and proceeded to the nearest T.J. Maxx to complete their Easter errands. Needless to say, we had a heck of a fun time watching them strut their stuff.
The colors! Neither of us had ever seen so many fanned out Toms in one place. Of course, before Thanksgiving, you might find more turkeys at the store... in the freezer section.
Do these feathers make my butt look big?
Yes. That's the point.
We heard plenty of gobbles, but we also heard something else: the Toms' dragging and scraping their feathers on the ground.
He's no butter-ball. He's more of a fluff-ball.
I'm a fan!
Happy Earth Day!
Reduce, reuse, recycle and refuse. Seriously.

Wow! These are gorgeous critters, Sharon. I wonder what the heck they were all doing out there. Somehow I don't think they were on a shopping spree. :-)
Wow! You’ve got some wonderful photos of these fantastic birds. I must admit to feeling a sense of hilarity seeing them at TJ Maxx :)
They certainly are strutting their stuff Sharon Gorgeous feather and images of them
Wild Turkeys have certainly made themselves right at home in suburban neighbourhoods. We see them quite often.
Wow..absolutely great photos. We rarely see Turkeys. Saw some years ago walking along the road in our area, but the only time. Like the Butt caption. :)
Amazing photos of the turkeys. We have wild turkeys here but they don't look the same. Thanks for sharing your photos.
How fun! I get excited when we come across them on backroads, but yours must be city turkeys! Maybe they were waiting for a bus :)
Your link is a great addition to the 'My Corner of the World' link up!
Weird and funny place to see wild turkeys. I guess these are the urban variety! Have a great weekend.
What a surprise! Such beautiful tom turkeys. I guess you know that the turkey almost became the symbol of the U.S., rather than the bald eagle. Your photos show the beauty of those birds.
My post features a “crab cruise” in LaConner, Washington State, USA.
That's special! I've never seen so many turkeys together like that, and never in a parking lot. Thanks for sharing!
Omg, this is amazing! I've seen Turkeys in parks but never around town!
