Sorry, I've never quite recovered from the trauma of my little red car and I being held by an amorous wild turkey. 'Scuse me whilst I go hide under my bed... ;-)
Great pictures of the turkeys . . . We have turkeys all over the place around here . . . It doesn't matter where I am, I see them. I have seen them often at my daughters/SIL house which is more of a country area than city. I see them walking around here in our neighborhood too. The other day I drove to a friends in the city, in a condo complex area and there must have been fifty or more of them walking around in the driveways and yards Where and why all the turkeys!?
Those are big turkeys! Poppy sees lots of turkeys when he is deer hunting, but they seem to disappear when turkey season comes in. He hasn't killed a turkey in a couple of years now.
I see a lot of turkeys up here, especially alongside the very rural roads where no one goes. I often wonder how they survive winter here in the wild. If I didn't put out extra corn for my chickens they'd all starve to death. So what can the turkeys be eating?
We have a huge population of wild turkeys here but are not allowed to hunt them. It was supposed to open this year, but didn't. Yep, I could easily put one of those fellas in my oven. Have a great day. Rain and freezing rain, mixed with snow here next few days.....darn those high winds. Hgz to M
One such similar turkey scooted past me as I drove into my yard on Friday when I came back home from the supermarket. We have a few scrub/bush turkeys, as we call them, around here.
Cool turkey pics. I remember being so surprised the first time I saw a picture of one as a child. Didn't quite mesh with the turkey my dad always showed us at Thanksgiving!

They look like they're about to break out in a song. And maybe some dancing :)

Nice looking turkey's. Have you named each one with a holiday name. I see Thanksgiving, Christmas, and even Easter ready for a freezer :-)
