My husband Brett, comes running into the house. There are two large birds out back, come quick.
Once I got outside, I could see that there were two wild turkeys. They were out in the woods behind our house, just beyond our shed. Once they saw us they moved further into the brush and out of view. It seems as though wild turkeys are quite prevalent in South Jersey.
Update: 03/08/2013. The above picture was taken, last spring, a couple of years after our first sighting. Since then we have spotted turkeys with young hiding in the brush behind our house.
