South Carolina's
wild turkey season begins today. As we have
posted previously, the wild turkeys in and around the Audubon Center at
Francis Beidler Forest were caught in the Francis Marion Forest in 1987 and released here.

In the images above taken on 3/11/2013, the males can be seen trying to impress the females and intimidate the other males. The urge to compete may lead males to right to a hunter posing as a rival. We have enjoyed our morning and evening sightings of wild turkeys, but suspect that they will be keeping their heads down for the near future.
