Turkeys everywhere!

Made it out to Rainbow Bay today and as we pulled up there we were greeted by a whole bunch of turkeys!  Probably about 15 or so that were moving over the drift fence into the (still dry) bay.  Unfortunately they were quicker to get away than I was to get a good  photo.  Tried to follow them through the bay but they cruised directly through to the other side, over the fence and off into the woods.  Walking around the inside and outside of the bay everywhere I looked there were signs of turkeys.  Looks like that group had been there a while rooting around in the leaf litter.  The picture on the bottom is my lame attempt to show what that looked like.  Basically it looked like the whole area had been ransacked by someone desperately trying to find something they lost in the leaf litter. 

We get a lot of wild turkeys on site.  In fact the population here is so strong is has been used as the source population of reintroductions of turkeys all over the southeast.  It is really common to see them while driving across site, but today it was great to be more up close and personal.
