Brood Flock

A few days ago we observed a turkey brood flock picking-around the edge of the yard - two hens and more than a dozen poults.  The poults were the size of chickens and they were out in the rain foraging because that's what turkeys do.  When it rains they forage.  That's because the rain drives more of the bugs and crawlers out of the ground making them easy pickn's for the birds.

In any event here are some photos taken by one of the trail cameras on a sunnier day.  The first photo was taken August 18th.

This photo was taken on August 20th.
