JuneOntario said:Rita, I'm not surprised you didn't see wild turkeys when camping. They're really difficult to see in the woods as they are very wary birds, and well camouflaged. I hear turkeys all year, but rarely see any until they start coming around in the winter looking for bird seed. To get a pic of them on the bird table, I had to creep up to the window and very slowly raise the camera. If they see any movement they're off and running, and they disappear into the undergrowth in a split second.


That is smart of the turkeys as otherwise they would be too easy for hunters to shoot. nodding
