Media notes
Nest found on a rice farm within a chain-link enclosure and almost got burned! Farmer put hay around the area as seen here and the turkey came back but flew away when I took this photo.
Observation details
Nest located incidentally when farmer was burning the area inside a small chain-link enclosure. A wild Turkey flew out and he saw the nest. Afterwards he put hay in that area and she came back. An egg appears to be singed. All that chain link fence might be protecting the nest while the eggs incubate but not sure if the hatchlings will be able to get out of the chain linked fence enclosure when they hatch!
