Turkeys

The turkey sightings in the neighborhood are increasing as the turkeys get less timid. Earlier this year the turkeys would run for cover when they saw someone, but now they casually walk away and sometimes even pose for the camera.



I've been able to identify two different flocks of hens with poults. The one group spends most of its time on the east side of Joyce Road while the other flock prefers the west side of the road.



Hardly a day goes by that I don't see at least one of the flocks somewhere on our property.



Out for their daily walk and looking for a quick meal, these young birds should know their way around the neighborhood before winter (and hunting season).
