I can't see a turkey in there. did you send the right picture? I know turkeys are good at camoflauge, but either it's too good for me or you sent the wrong picture.
She's there. If you click on the picture to go to the Picasa website, and then click on the magnifying glass, you'll see her. Her head is in the bottom left of the picture.
The nest is a slight depression in the forest litter situated near vegetation or under a brush pile that provides concealment. Turkey eggs are larger than chicken eggs and are tan with brown flecks. An average clutch is 10-15 eggs laid over 12-18 days. Incubation takes 28 days. Hatching occurs during the end of May and early June.
