Wild Turkeys

Why couldn’t the leopard play hide and seek?

Because he was always spotted.

Interesting Fact: The female scratches a shallow depression in the soil, about 1 inch deep, 8–11 inches wide, and 9–13 inches long. Wild Turkeys use only the dead leaves or other plant materials already present at the nest site. ( https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Wild_Turkey/lifehistory )

      Thank you very much, I hope that he would, I am just glad he didn’t go with the turkey for a national bird. Hehehe. Happy Blogging! 🙂

    The first (and only) time we saw wild turkeys in my suburban neighborhood, it was quite an event! Traffic stopped to let them cross the road.

      That is pretty cool. I did experience one time turkeys chasing a power walker, that was quite entertaining. Thank you very much for stopping by and sharing your story with us. Happy Blogging! 🙂
