The turkeys and birds appreciated the corn in the feeders after the snow arrived.

Turkeys in the Snow

This group of tom turkeys apparently felt safe that they wouldn’t become the main guest at the Thanksgiving meal since they wandered into the yard this Thanksgiving morning.

Thanksgiving Tom Turkeys

I have been spotting more turkeys lately, but they should be hiding so they don’t end up as the main guest at a Thanksgiving dinner.

Fall Turkeys

Yesterday evening I had to stop on the road as there was a group of turkeys wandering across the highway. There were about four adult female turkeys and a few dozen younger ones, so it looks like the moms combined their kids to try to herd them, but the effort wasn’t that successful as I had to wait a while before they all managed to finally get to one side of the road.

Wandering Turkeys

Yesterday morning I had to stop on the road and wait for thirty turkeys to cross the road in front of me and they weren’t in much of a hurry either.

Waiting for Turkeys

The turkey little chicks were out on an adventure after leaving their nest, but they were young enough that they didn’t wander too far from mom.

Adventurous Baby Turkeys

The turkeys, while mostly absent during the summer months, have been spotted very frequently now as they have been wandering through my yard and roosting in my trees again. These turkeys stopped long enough to do a little preening.
