Thanks for including such a neat photo of the male. You're so right, seems you can almost find them anywhere anymore. Nice that their numbers are up. We've watched males fluff themselves up and display in front of the females at my son's in White Oak often. He lives up on hill overlooking the Mon with woods behind his place and sees quite a bit of nature. I've seen 5-6 at Crooked Creek often too, was fun watching the poults run after mom and dad. There was an interesting shot on TV last night of a young man in Colorado or Oregon (sorry, forget which) that raised a young domestic turkey and it's become a pet, that even gets along with his dog. The turkey is kind of odd looking -- almost all white and its name is Andy. Happy Thanksgiving. Marge Interesting article, Kate. Thanks for including such a neat photo of the male.

They regularly visit the area of my husband's grave. He unsuccessfully hunted them for years and now they seem to be saying "who's the winner now?".
