While out birding in Marquette County I flushed a Wild Turkey and my first thought this time of year that there is a nest close by. About 20 feet away from me under an old fallen tree was a nest. I took a couple of quick photos and left the area. It was an overcast day and cold with a good NE wind at times making it chilly. Images were taken on May 19, 2025.

The Wild Turkey eggs…

I hope they make it…

Wow, that’s the fewest I’ve ever seen. Could be just in the process yet. They can lay one a day until all ready to sit. Most nests have 12-15.
