turkeys gobbling and strutting

so i was out and about today and I saw a bunch of turkey lets say 7 0r 8 strutting around and one of them even gobbled is this normal behavior for this time of year? Were the turkeys trying to establish dominance?

Yes I agree with Mr. Longbeard. I saw around 40 today while on my lunch break and the Toms and the hens were all together. There wasnt any struttingor gobbling but the day was rather cold...
