Baby Turkey: June 10, 2010

Here are ten little turkey at the Bunkhouse.

Baby Turkey in West Texas

We think we have around 20 hatched so far and another few hens still nesting.  There is another group in the desert. TPWD’s Turkey Task Force, directed by Vernon Bevil,  helped us reintroduce this wonderful animal.

This hatch is coming during what normally is our driest period: late spring and early summer.  But look at how green our plants are. This is because this winter was the wettest in memory.
