You are right JW some are jakes in this pic. There was at least 50 birds in this flock at the time the pic was taken. I was using a Bushnell binocular camera so the pic did not come out very clear. I wanted to get the most birds doing the strut I could get in the pic. I am thinking the flock has broken up now though. I have seen several jakes all hanging to gether with maybe a hen or 2 but that has been mostly it. I have been seeing a couple of bearded birds around a half mile away with a few hens though. I know they are there waiting for opening day though...
