My Life as a Turkey

My Life as a Turkey - what a great little film! (won an Emmy for Outstanding Nature Programming)

After a local farmer left a bowl of eggs on Joe Hutto’s front porch, his life was forever changed. Hutto, possessing a broad background in the natural sciences and an interest in imprinting young animals, incubated the eggs and waited for them to hatch. As the chicks emerged from their shells, they locked eyes with an unusual but dedicated mother. One man’s remarkable experience of raising a group of wild turkey hatchlings to adulthood.

Thanks Hal, wonderful locations and photography.
For those who actually watch the film before posting it is 52 minutes long and very engaging.

Watched it on Pbs a couple of years ago.
I really enjoyed it.

It is streaming on Netflix HD. Looks even better than on my 24" iMac.

The camera operator must also have imprinted on the birds. Really nice film, thanks Hal.
