There were two adults and 12 or so young turkeys.  The cat is in the foreground and eventually moved and the turkeys spooked.

Nice to see some wildlife around,

The environment seems to be healthy in your part of the world.

The ones around here have a nasty habit of flying across roads at windshield hieght.
From the looks of them thats all the altitude they can muster.

I was surprised this past spring riding in the Texas Hill Country behind a friend who had Cobra pipes.  He scared up a couple of BIG turkeys and I was totally shocked when they took off UP and over the telephone poles almost vertically.  I never would have thought they could go UP like that with those big, heavy bodies.

I don't know why exactly, but their is a local flock that seems partial to a cemetery by the highway.  My sister's bus was heading down the road one day when a rare flying turkey decided to cross the road and smashed into the bus windshield. Everyone was fine except for the turkey.

Turkeys can fly GOOD.  They choose NOT to most of the time. 

Get in the woods with a turkey and you'll see... when flying thru the woods... they do not care about anything smaller than a mans finger.  So... they are brush crashers, and sort of flying tanks. 

They like the cemetery for the bugs.
