Momma chuck is a good mother and protective of her brood.

.

.

I’ve seen her chase off a fox, a deer and a turkey.

.

.

Every evening the littles gather to nibble under the bird feeders.

.

.

And momma is right there keeping a close watch on the surrounding area.

.

.

Mess with momma at your peril.

.

You have been warned.
