In late February I made a trip to South Dakota to visit my parents. The neighborhood where they live is right on the edge of town, and their property backs up to a wooded hillside. Due to their proximity to this forest, my parents see all sorts of wildlife, but their most frequent visitors are the deer and wild turkeys. On this day, I witnessed a large flock of turkeys hanging out in my parent's backyard, the male toms all fluffed out, trying to impress the ladies. One of my brothers does a very realistic turkey call, and is always successful in getting the birds to gobble back. Although I'm nowhere near a decent gobbler, I decided to try my hand at turkey talk. The two videos below were my results:
I hope these two videos bring a smile to your face and maybe even a chuckle or two. They sure made me laugh!
More wildflower photos coming in my next post.......
