I've seen a lot of turkeys pecking around on the side of the highway this year ... maybe they've always been there and I never noticed. Possible.

Suz,that is how they must be keeping them selves safe at night. Racoons can climb trees though.

Thanks, Jemma ... I've never seen one in a tree either. Cool to see!
