    Smile In my front yard this morning, I saw...

    ...a group of 8 turkeys! They were all female...just bee-bopping around pecking in the yard in the rain. I have seen 2 at the most around here, so I was very surprised to see so many. They hung out for a while and then headed back off into the woods. I figure they banded together after escaping the yearly turkey hunt for Thanksgiving - yay girls! I was going to take a photo, but couldn't find my camera. Anyway, I thought it was neat so I wanted to share.

    Have a great day!

    My grandmother gets them in her yard too, she loves it hearing them and watching them. I think it's so neat~

    Thanks for sharing! Do you feed them? or provide water? You may see them more frequently if you do....

    WOW! I bet that was quite a site to see. We never get them here...not even one in our yard, so that would have been awesome.

    living in the country we see them all the time, but have never seen them in our yard! awesome.i agree mayeb get some cracked corn adn give it to them, they would love it. however remember: a grown tom turkey can kill a person, when mating season comes be careful, and never try to approach one
