Wild Turkeys

Been hearing about the wild turkeys running around in our area.


 Have heard reports of not one, but, about a cluster of a dozen or so of them.


Finally saw them myself, on Monday, November 1, 2010, mid afternoon.
 

 They came from the woods behind my house.


I ran in and grabbed my camera and snapped off a few photos.


Before they disappeared from behind our houses.

Last year, there was one with a couple of babies following her around. Looks like the litter grew up since then.  Plus added more siblings to the heard of wild turkeys.

Did they come from the Popcorn Zoo in Lacy Township, just down the road apiece? Are they just out for a stroll, canvassing our neighborhood? And thinking of possibly retiring in one of the senior citizens villages here?  If they don't end up on someone's dinner table on Thanksgiving Day?
