Now I can honestly say I’ve seen my very first wild turkey offspring or poult as they’re called.
A wild turkey hen and her three poults have been spending mornings in a forested area just down the road from my house, and I got a chance to check them out this week.
I know it’s probably not that rare, but it is the first time I personally have ever seen young wild turkeys. From what I saw, I would say gobblers are something like cats; a lot cuter when they’re babies.
The three little poults did not venture too far from mom though, just long enough to hide in the tall grass while I was trying to snap a photo (& dealing with dieing batteries)
The hen would make a few soft ‘calls’ and the poults then reappeared from the tall grass….
Now I ask you, how cute is that?
