One of our wild turkey nests as promised.... We are not sure how many nests there are on the Two Hundred Acre wood this year, but so far we have discovered five. There are actually eight eggs in this nest. One egg is beyond the right edge of the photo; two eggs are partially buried in leaves and difficult to see. Chances are the mother bird had not finished her laying when the picture was taken - there are usually about fourteen eggs in a wild turkey's nest.
