I just happened to glance out the window and this is what I saw.
I haven't seen this large of a gaggle in several years.
Happy Thanksgiving All!

@kare29 maybe they were tipped off and they're making a run for it!

By any chance do you live in maine? I see them so often here.

I actually cooked one of those back home one time when a hunter relative brought one by! It was very very good!
I injected it with spices and such and put bacon on the outside and it was great!
I always love to see them on the hoof too, but haven't encountered one where we live now.

Good picture @kare29. I see turkeys sometimes too in my backyard,
usually early in the morning.

We get the same thing around here. NY/NJ area. We live in a wooded area and they travel in herds or gaggles or something like that. We have one we call the Lone Turkey as he always travels alone. He seems to have a leg injury and hops. I guess he is an outcast from the herd. Don't feed them, you will never get rid of them.

Once when walking my dogs I saw a couple on a tree branch. Then one more flew up to join them and the whole branch broke off. Such a fuss they made.

Every now and then, I see this kind of scene in the woods near my house. I love hearing them making a fuss
One year, a large male with all feathers flashing, was making a play for a lone hen. He was giving it his best prancing around, back and forth and she wasn't having it. Just ignored him.
Eventually, I think he just walked away. Made me a little sad.
I had never seen a male turkey in the wild, but they are glorious creatures.
After that, I felt extremely guilty eating ANY turkey

I bet wild turkeys are tough.
