Meleagris gallopavo


A wild turkey almost gave me a heart attack last summer. It was early August, and I was standing in a sunny spot in the woods with thick undergrowth. It was completely silent, until a big turkey flew up from a spot inches from where I was standing. I looked down, and saw a nest with eggs! Hopefully she came back to her brood.
