Driving down a field road with tall grass I could see something running ahead of me. Narrowing the distance it became clear that it was a turkey hen. Then several, 10?, small poults took to the air. It's the first time I've seen a brood of turkeys on my land. With groves of trees and acres of grass nearby it is good habitat for them. Roosting in trees keeps them safe from coyotes at night. How old does a poult need to be before it can fly up to a tree branch? Would your Funk & Wagnalls tell you?
A long sleeved shirt, gloves, a bit of wind and some Deet, compliments of my brother, made tractor work doable. Mosquitoes, another argument for a tractor cab.
Takk for alt,
Al
