Came across this very late but still active turkey nest on our job site this week!
The nest was located within the pine stand that we have been thinning for the last month or so. We went ahead and flagged the nest location with pink flagging to ensure our operators can leave the nest undisturbed.
Hoping these 8 eggs will produce healthy poults that will thrive in this new environment we have created for them! This thinning should provide great brooding habitat in the next few weeks with new forage and cover sprouting up!
