A flock of Wild Turkeys numbering a least 75 were feeding in this corn field left over from last year. This was on Monday morning, March 31, 2008 and we were on our way into town when we spotted this flock and had to turn around and go back to take some pictures. There are some woods near by so they probably were roosting there overnight and came out into the field to start their day. Turkeys can fly strongly for short distances, but prefer running to escape danger as most hunters have found out. They typically feed on seeds, nuts, acorns, and fruit.
