We seem to have a lot more turkeys in our area this year. There are two spots that seem to be the designated Turkey Crossing!
We always stop and wait for the mama and babies to cross the road. This time I was lucky enough to have my camera. Unfortunately, not the greatest shot, they spook easily and run for cover the minute the window goes down.

It is nice to see the turkey population growing. We have seen evidence of them in our woods, but never get a chance to get an up close look at one.

ReplyDeleteWe have seen an increase turkey population around us. Really surprising considering all of the coyotes around us. Great shots!
ReplyDeleteHow neat! I've never see wild baby turkeys, but have see adult turkeys.
ReplyDeleteVery cool! I have only seen wild turkeys a few times and just love them! Someday I hope to live somewhere that this is a regular sight!
ReplyDeleteMy friend Heidi has wild turkeys up where she lives. I love seeing the little babies when we go visit her.
ReplyDeleteWe have a lot of wild turkeys around here too. I always enjoy seeing them.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing how much smarter they are?
ReplyDeleteI have never raised Turkeys, but I have read just enough that scared me off!
DeleteWe have been seeing more and more around here too. And more deer. I'm glad the season is about to start so we can take care of the family of deer attacking my gardens.
ReplyDeleteWe have an abundance of deer as well. We see them in the hay and soybean fields. Thankfully they stay out of the yard. I think the dogs keep them away.
