Good to see!

I have been getting a few photos Poults at my feeder lately. Also while putting in summer plots last week, I was riding from one plot to another, I seen a hen with at least 3 poults in the field (high grass). This is good to see, hope they make it.

Great to see for sure. I have been keeping an eye out for the hatch I witnessed but haven’t come across them yet. I’ve got some cameras set up so maybe I’ll get lucky like you did.

I am glad they made it. How old before they can fly up and roost in the evening ?

I personally had to look this up. I was unsure myself. When the poults are between 4 and 5 weeks old, they are able to fly 25 – 50 feet and begin to roost in trees with their mother. Turkeys learn from each other, usually by imitating older birds.

Next day, got a picture of a mature bobcat in the same area. Cat surely needs to be dismissed.
