[AT] Tractor looking

[crawler]

On my land in Fairville New York Turkeys nest every year on my land,last
year i counted 17 babies,

 in the summer they have the babies out teaching them to catch grass hoppers
and on my tractor i can get as close as 10 feet from them and they just
calmly walk away.  ED
