I was cutting bramble with our mower before the growing season gets underway and a turkey surprised me by popping up and ambling away from me. I backed out of its area and put the mower away. Turns out she was sitting on a nest! That was two hours ago and I haven’t seen her come back. How long can nests go unattended? Is this maybe normal and I didn’t ruin the chance to have their family on my yard? I’ve noticed her alone (which seemed weird) over the last day or two — now I know why! I did spread some possible food around nearby in case that helps.

Kind of an informal nest!
