Turkeys in the Vineyard

Yesterday, we drove up to our land at mid-day and saw our vineyard turkeys at the entryway. We have seen these birds grow from little poults and now they are just ready for eating! (Just joking, although wild turkey is delicious!) They regularly come into our vineyard and do bug patrol for us. We've seen them mainly at dusk on the north portion of the vineyard. It is okay for now since we don't have any grapes.
One day, they formed a line and were meticulously eating what they found in the soil beginning from the northeast corner and were working their way down to the southeast corner. They were spooked when my husband got on his tractor and started cultivating the west headlands.
