Todays wildlife

We had lunch at a seaside bakery then walked along a beach path. Heard a noise and thought some one was gardening. It was gardening being done but not a person.

It was a bush turkey and he was raking up the dead leaves to make a mould for his nest. I say he as I think it is the males who prepare the nest.

He did stop when I took the photo but just turned the other way and keeping raking. Leaves were being scattered about two metres away. A completed mound can be as high as a metre.
