While geocaching at this location, you have a great view of the field down below. We were bird and deer watching (and hoping to see the elk that makes this place their home) one day when we saw a flock of Wild Turkey. Wild Turkeys live in mature forests, particularly nut trees such as oak, hickory, or beech, interspersed with edges and fields. You may also see them along roads and in woodsy backyards. Turkeys travel in flocks and search on the ground for nuts, berries, insects, and snails. They use their strong feet to scratch leaf litter out of the way. In early spring, males gather in clearings to perform courtship displays. They puff up their body feathers, flare their tails into a vertical fan, and strut slowly while giving a characteristic gobbling call. At night, turkeys fly up into trees to roost in groups.
*remember, you are in the southern mountains, this means watch for poisonous snakes, plants, and insects.
