These showed up in on our driveway this morning. I counted 16 of them. I had seen some of their tracks in the snow earlier this morning when I went out to get the newspaper. They eventually flew into the woods.
last early morning vistors i had were also 2 legged, but they did require the shotgun for motivation to depart the premises even though the 4 legged guards were speaking to them quite loudly.
Wow, I wish they were in my yard, We have to use turkey dogs here just to see them. We always fall hunt turkeys. My lab would break out a window just to get to them. Love the pictures!
I have a feeder out back (been there 2 years now) spitting out corn twice a day. Lots of deer, rabbit, squirrel, birds but no turkeys. They roost often in the trees nearby but don't seem to like the feeder. Found turkey tracks around the feeder a couple of weeks ago, thought ok now I will start to see them. Haven't been back since. I'm starting to take it personal.
We had these in the driveway a while back. When there's a lot of snow, they come up on our deck and eat from the bird feeders. The largest group I've seen at the house was around 50 birds.
