Valentine's Day

It's only a day after Valentine's Day and the boys aren't wasting any time. This is the first time since last spring that we've seen the toms and hens traveling together. Instead of the large dozen member bachelor tom group that comes by our cabin - this morning for the first time, we saw just 2 toms traveling with the 11 member hen group instead. Things must be heating up.

The toms watched and seemed carefully on guard. They stayed around the perimeter of the ladies group and were in full guy display. The hens seemed much more interested in scratching the wet leaves for grubs however. ~N
