Talking Turkey - Part One

Last week was the week of the turkey.

There's a camera on a mowed trail a couple of hundred yards from the house.  Where the camera ii is aimed generally westward at a fork in the trail.  The main trail continues to the right of the camera and turns north to cross the creek.  In the foreground is woods, behind the camera is Silver creek, a pond and several acres of prairie grasses and forbs.  It's an interesting dynamic because of the interesting intersection of habitat types.  For five consecutive days there was daylight turkey action.  Of course, turkeys only move during the daylight hours - as the sun sets they roost overnight in trees.

Today, Thursday and Friday I'll post a series of brood flock photos selected from hundreds captured by the patient and silent trail camera last week.

Enjoy...
