Turkeys take shade on hot summer day.

Here you see Wild Turkeys taking shade under the pine trees on my back lawn. Here in New Hampshire wild turkeys are becoming very popular. So popular in fact that it is common to see them out on your front lawn, crossing the main roads and even chasing some people to protect their young. Not so long ago there were no wild turkeys in New Hampshire and now there are thousands. Currently there are around 40,000 and climbing!
