During the evening, turkeys fly up to roost in the trees of heavily forested areas. It s always kind of a surprise to see these large birds sitting up in trees. Many animals prey on the eggs and young poults of turkeys. Skunks, opossums, raccoons, snakes, crows, coyotes, foxes, and some rodents will all look for a turkey egg or poult meal. Bobcats, foxes, great horned owls, and red-tailed hawks sometimes kill adult turkeys.
Spring is a good time to go look and listen for turkeys since it s breeding season.
