Turkeys

[salmotrutta]

Saw a flock load of turkeys on Saturday morning, off Wilmot line nearing Weimar line in Waterloo. Picture does not show them all.

That's some lot of turkeys. They really have taken off ( pun intended ) since they were introduced or re-introduced in Ontario in the '80s.
I remember the first time I saw a wild Turkey. I was driving around dirt roads near Owen Sound looking for a stream that might hold Specks ( to no ones surprise, I'm sure.) It was the mid '80s and this huge bird ran out in front of my truck. I didn't know what the heck until a few days later when I read in a local paper that some wild Turkeys had been released in the area. Now they are everywhere.

this huge bird ran out in front of my truck.

I've had that happen to me on Conlin Rd./6th Concession north of Oshawa, all of a sudden there was a turkey in front me, I hit the brakes and let it run across.

There is place I drive past every day, and the flocks that I see there are huge. I know that I took pictures a few years back of a flock that was over 60 birds (zoomed the pictures to count because I couldn't believe it!). I'll have to see if I can find the pictures...it was amazing. Normally there are 30 or 40 birds there.

I live just on the edge of London and I often see large schools... Err packs... FLOCKS of turkeys in the area. If only they would step on my property. Self defence right? Mmm turkey.

That's great to see. I just started hunting them last spring and it was great. Wild turkey is delicious.

That many turkeys gathered in one spot make me uneasy... they are up to something...

Nice photo Salmo. I joined a friend on a turkey hunt once. Apparently my whistling does not sound like a robin and will not go undetected... no turkey dinner for us...

Something's happening for sure
