A Few More Turkeys

Indian John Hill Rest Area, WA

Turkeys travel in flocks and search on the ground for nuts, berries, insects, and snails. They use
their strong feet to scratch leaf litter out of the way. In early spring, males gather in clearings to
perform courtship displays. They puff up their body feathers, flare their tails into a vertical fan,
and strut slowly while giving a characteristic gobbling call. At night, turkeys fly up into trees to
roost in groups. ~ All About Birds
