Typically, wild turkeys have their young in the spring. Every now and then though they have a late brood of chicks (poults) like this family. We originally saw 6 and now there are 5. While we see them often in our area throughout the year this is the closest we've seen a family; they've been surprisingly tame. We've enjoyed them around the house and hope they survive the winter.

How lucky to be near 'wild' turkeys...what was almost the American National Bird if Ben Franklin had his druthers ;-)
ReplyDeleteThey look beautiful Andy, and I am pleased to know they are not in cages or going to be eaten at Thanksgiving...at least we hope not. I notice how grand and regal she is...and almost in regal color.
