Wild Turkey
I see a group of 22 and another group of 15 almost every morning in Acton, MA. In the afternoon, they come back to feed and they are usually the toms first then the ladies about a half hour later. I listen to them and alert them when something that could harm them comes near.. It's funny to see them all looking at me, waiting to hear the all clear call, then they go back to eating..I can't wait for them to bring the young ones around this year.. One year we saw 40 babies in their annual "parade". They roosted in the area all winter long this year!
Turkeys
We see a lot of wild turkeys in our county in south Georgia. Also, I have two Blue Slate turkeys. The tom is one mean bird. Don’t turn your back on him and always carry a big stick!

my small children once were chased by an angry turkey in SW Virginia, it chased them right to the front door, coming up on the porch! Will never forget that as long as I live! He waited for quite some time on the front lawn before venturing back into the woods.

I bet that was a rather comforting sight, wasn't it. Especially if they were noisy. I love the sound of wild turkeys. We get them here in rural Wyoming.
