Turkeys

I wrote about coyotes in a previous blog.

Another rare animal that I have starting seeing across the country-side is the wild turkey. They were evidently re-introduced into the wild and have been successfully breeding.

I have seen 3 over the last five years all along highway 416 and then nothing for a year or two. Then suddenly, I saw three in a field north of Kemptville on March 5th and read in Saturday's Ottawa Citizen that 18 were seen near Prescott and more near Kemptville.
