MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • May 28, 2023
While wild turkeys are seldom as predictable as we might prefer, they do tend to follow generally expected patterns and exhibit certain characteristic behavior. The birds fly down at dawn. Toms strut and gobble to attract a mate while hens cluck, yelp and feed. Then the flock returns to roost at night where they settle in and wait for another day. At least, that’s what they’re supposed to do. Often they go off script and once in a while they do things that defy description. ~ Bob Humphrey
