Wild Turkey meleagris gallopavo

I had to dig into my archives to find something to post for world bird Wed.These pictures were taken in early Feb.2009.I had to drive up & down that stretch of road many times before I captured these wild turkeys.They were looking for corn in this part of farmland next to a forest.A friend of ours just got a coyotoe in this area this year after all of his neighbors chickens were disappearing.I guess that`s what happenned to these turkeys.

Today is the day to join us in the springman`s meme,post your outdoor birds here at this link http://pineriverreview.blogspot.com/,see what is happenning in the bird worls around you.I have heard robins,but have not seen any yet.
