local turkeys

Walking home from the supermarket, I saw a group of three turkeys--two adults and one poult--and then, half a block away, a single male turkey.

I reported them to the Massachusetts wild turkey survey.

We were seeing a larger flock regularly a couple of months ago, before some of them paired off, nested, and settled down to the business of making more turkeys.

I kept not thinking of the wild turkey survey in early June, when I was seeing more turkeys. They are asking people to report sightings from June 1 through August 31, and the serious Turkey Awareness Month* was may.

*At least some of the early-morning gobbling was aimed at each other, rather than at humans, of course.
