Dead Birds

With the recent weather we got here in NW PA, I am concerned about the flocks being able to survive with a few feet of snow and ice everywhere. What will they eat if they cant get to the ground? Has anybody found any dead turkeys? I dont remember a worse winter spell here ever, of course I do live in edinboro, so its going to be worse around here, but still...

Turkeys are living dinosaurs. They have been around for thousands of years and been through plenty of winters worse than this.
With deep snow and ice the turkeys stay in the trees and pick off buds. They move very little to conserve energy and can survive like this for weeks. On warm days they will fly from their tree to standing corn or hemlock stands to feed.
With the warm up coming this week the turkeys and deer will get some relief. At least the ice will melt off the trees exposing more buds.

last year was a horrible year for snow and i went out in march and heard 4 different bird...first day in a different area i heard 8...this wont hurt them much..ive been seeing birds everywhere..just got some new calls for christmas
