Turkeys

While I was preparing to do some work at our barn I notice two hen turkeys and 15 young poults in our field. The poults feeding on bugs and would form an evenly spaced line as they worked their way across the field.



When the turkeys reached the end of the field they would swing around 180 degrees and work back across another section of the field.



As the turkeys were feeding in the field, a neighborhood cat approached the field from the tall grass. The two hens immediately approached the cat and forced it to leave the field.
