They usually begin nesting in March. They are single brooded, usually laying 8-12 eggs. They nest on the ground usually under shrubby cover. The female incubates the eggs by herself for 28 days. The chicks are born precocial meaning that they can leave the nest and forage for themselves almost immediately after hatching. Amazingly, they can fly into trees when they are only 2 weeks old! @Mary yes, Wild Turkeys are nesting now. They usually begin nesting in March. They are single brooded, usually laying 8-12 eggs.

Your website helped me to identify them so thank you! I certainly wasn't expecting to see them. Would they be nesting now?
