Wild Turkey – 6/8/08

Observer: Peter Higgins

Observation Date: 6/8/08

Observation Time: 6:15 a.m.

Observation Location: Moose Hill Farm

Common Name: Wild Turkey

Scientific Name: Meleagris gallopavo

Comments: This was my first venture to Moosehill Farm in the early hours and seeing this group of Tom Turkeys strutting their stuff got me hooked. Since that time I go up as often as possible. A week ago I stood quietly at the edge of a field and something caught my eye, a coyote was running full speed across the field.
