They are here everyday. When the weather is particularly brutal they move around a lot and then seem to find a place to cluster together. A few days ago they were busy running from their normal spot to my side of the street. There were probably a dozen or more and they were really booking so I was only able to catch these two. It is warmer today so they are busy across the street but I thought I would share these two today.
Hi Sheila- we were accustomed to seeing peacocks back in Delray but never turkeys!!! How interesting.
Hi Chris Ann. Some of these turkeys are huge and they are nasty. TY Sheila
Sheila, I love watching turkeys or any animals!. Great shot! Our weather today was 60 and I just got in from walking Zeke.

Hello Rebecca. It was warm here today too but tomorrow it is back to winter. TY Sheila
I often enjoy visiting the Wild Turkeys that live along our American River Parkway. I live in a sidewalks, curbs, gutters environment. But, a mere couple blocks away is the Parkway and all sorts of wildlife!

Hi Myrl. No sidewalks here but even where there are they are plentiful here. TY and have a great weekend. Sheila
How large is your lot, Sheila? I just find it so bizarre that you have TURKEYS! That is just so cool and I can imagine that they're huddling together too - they have to huddle to stay warm, don't they?!

Hi Debe. My lot is only 1/2 acre but is surrounded by neighbors on either side than have three acres. It works really well for me. TY Sheila
Everytime I see pictures of turkeys it makes me more vegetarian.

They do hang around together a lot except in the early spring, I see more singles

Sheila loved the photo so I guess I have no right to complain that we had 75 degrees and it was too hot:))??Endre

Morning Sheila.
While we have turkeys in the town just north of where we live, we rarely see them.

Hi Endre. Yesterday it was 72 here as well....it was a fluke and it is winter here again today. TY Sheila
Sheila Anderson - That is something I never saw in my backyard, here in TX or other places I lived. I have a feeling, they were looking for food. I wouldn't even know what to feed them! Do they generally travel in pairs? I am no turkey expert.
Your winter has been very brutal for all living things on earth. I hope the weather begins to improve day by day.

Hello again Patricia. Since moving here and fencing my rear yard they generally stay across the street where they live and are fed. There are a couple dozen here and they are nasty. TY Sheila
