Turkey Chicks

Is that what you call baby turkeys...on the way home this morning I looked up from staring at my shoes and saw some bird activity up ahead...but they were a funny size and funny movements...not crows, not hawks or birds of prey...there in the middle of the road was a turkey and several chicks...and as I stumbled and bumbled my way up three more chicks flew in from the side to gather with the clan.
Pretty cool to see...this being the end of June these "babies" were indeed chicks and in short for chickens...they are now easily as big as a good sized chicken with longer legs and can now fly pretty effectively. It was fun to see them and to see mom trying to get everyone together in a flock...she had a funny little call too. Not a full gobble, but more of a cluck. Just a short call as if to say, "Hey you kids get over here."
The whole fam went off into the brush and not very subtle at that, crashing and crushing leaves and twigs. I thought I made a lot of noise as I run...
