How Appropriate ! Turkey's On Thanksgiving

What an interesting morning at Quabbin today. As I was watching a distant shoreline a flock of turkey's were working the shoreline. As the flock reached the point with nowhere to go but fly, what appeared to be a second flock merged and an all our pushing and shoving match took place.
Things calmed down after a few minutes and then two Tom's started strutting their stuff. I have only seen this behavior in the spring during mating season.
The strutting stance went on for about ten minutes. How neat though to see this on Thanksgiving Day!
Also, have you ever wondered if a turkey would wade ( me neither  lol) But they do !
On my hike back to the truck I was able to get this pic of a juvenile Black Bellied Plover.
Yes , and finally a bear still out in the area leaving its calling card for me to find.
