Wild Turkeys in Southwest Michigan

Turkeys in Southwest MichiganIn February I was traveling back from an appointment in Barry County, just north of Battle Creek, and I spotted some wild turkey in a field.  I turned around on the road I was on, and went back and took this video that I posted below. 

I find that as I travel around Southwest Michigan as a Realtor, I come across a lot of different wildlife at times, but wild turkeys always facinate me.  Perhaps it is because they appear more elusive than other birds and animals. 

So I edited this video a little last night, and posted it on my YouTube channel to share with the world.  I also included a still of another turkey I photographed about a year ago as the opening segment in the video.  I hope you enjoy it.  It is very short.

Turkey anyone?

Micheal,

We see a ton of wild turkeys here in CT.  They are really cool and very protective of the others in the flock.

I have seen a windshield that had a wild turkey land in it.  Unbelievable damage.  It look like someone threw a mini-fridge through it.

Thanks for the video.

Michael- they could have used some skis!  I saw some here in South Florida last year and wish I'd had my video with me.

Michael,

We have lots of these in Missouri.  The other day I saw about 15 of them in my backyard.
