Default Tukey Down

How it met his fate is unknown to me? Came across it while taking a walk this afternoon. Looks like it died in mid stride as there are no tracks in the snow other than the turkeys (no predator tracks anyway). Blood behind him can be attributed to the raven that was feasting on its rear.

Seed, grain, grasses, buds...............scratching for their food. So in winter they frequent coniferous areas where little snow reaches the ground to scratch through. It has been a tough winter in SW AB for sure with extended cold and snow cover.

Thinking it died of natural causes. Being we on the northern end of their territory and still be able to survive. Tough winter for sure.
