Turkey march in March

I haven't seen too much of the turkeys all winter, but near the end of March they decide to march around the yard.

They seem to know where they are going.

But then, they stop and mill around a bit.

And march off in the other direction!

They are more brave than usual as they march around the yard for about ten minutes, managing to keep close to the tree line, of course.
