Along that stretch I saw my first wild turkeys. I've since seen them in

They're a bit a a nuisance around here. I get 'em in my backyard.
Saw 6 2nd year I lived here, made the mistake of feeding them.
Next year I had 22.

When coyotes arrive in your geography you'll discover that they love the
flavor of turkey eggs and turkeys nest on the ground for the convenience
of the coyotes. Turkey overpopulation problems solved in a couple of
years.

Folks around here in Chicago metro like to claim there are no coyotes
here. I nod and laugh. Then I go out in the back yard at night and I
listen to them howling.
