[TN-Bird] Turkeys

Tn-birders,
For the past two months or so, I have had wild turkeys in my yard almost daily, 
numbering from 3 up to the 30,s.  Yesterday, 1-23-04 at 8:30am, I looked out 
and saw turkeys in all directions milling about and feeding on something in 
short grass as well as tall dead weeds.  After counting and recounting, I came 
up with the number 78.  They stayed around about 2.5 hours, finally breaking up 
into 3 flocks and wandering off.  Al least 2 Jakes were strutting around each 
other, but no adult males.
After they were gone, I tried to see what they were eating.  In the abscense of 
anything else, I guessed it to be just short green grass sprouts.
