how does your garden grow?

whoa! i didn't know my big-ass wild turkeys could fly! last night i saw one fly very high up in a tree at dusk, i was surprised as hell!

so i looked it up:
wild turkeys can fly. Apparently not fast or high enough, however. Hunting by early Americans brought the wild turkey population to a low of just 30,000 birds back in the 1930s. conservation efforts have restored the population to about 7 million today. (half of which live in my yard.)

Wild turkeys feed on the ground, which may have something to do with the myth that they can't fly. They have to fly, however, because they roost in trees at night. Some accounts say they can soar up to 55 mph for short bursts.
