Came across these wild turkeys at the local park yesterday poking around the ball field. The two youngsters were definitely in that awkward teen phase.

I was most amused when the mother wandered into the dugout so it looked like the young one was visiting her in prison through the chain-link fence. (She escaped and they made their getaway shortly thereafter.)

After posting that cardoon video, we got visited by wild turkeys! I joked they must have checked Mastodon and seen my post. Here's a mama and her six babies (I shall call them turklets) walking through housemate's garden, eating the blueberries and bugs. 😄 He's building this big space as a public food forest, and the turkeys are definitely part of the public, so....

If you see wild turkeys in Michigan this month, Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) wants to know about it.

"Winter reporting can give the DNR another look into trends in local turkey activity and can help inform us on statewide population trends."

Encountered on my walk today … in my suburban neighborhood, not the woods. Does anyone know what you call a bunch of #WildTurkeys?

Wild turkeys are made of steel and stone.
