The Birds!

The first couple of videos are ones I made on three separate walks in my neighborhood. I was simply amazed to see a flock of turkeys walking around in a residential area.

All these birds are hens. Some may be young toms with no beard yet. I do not shoot hens. This time of the year the hens and usually their young hang together and the mature toms hang together. By Feb. or March the toms will be courting and strutting.  - Rimson Solomon
