Bush Turkeys

Day247   September 15th
We shared the campground with several bush turkeys, more than I have ever seen together in fact. I imagine the easy access to food has swelled there ranks; they certainly seemed to feel that our hanging rubbish bag was there for their benefit. None of them had the yellow stripe and red wobbly neck skin so I presume they were all females or just too young. They spent a lot of time perched in the trees (when they weren't foraging for scraps) and apparently spent the first night in the tree above our car. In the morning it was smeared with bird poop.  Obviously they mistook it for their bathroom.
