Rossting birds will cluck very softly at first light Cutt- a loud, aggressive series of fast, irregular clucks lasting 5 - 15 seconds. Used when lonely, lost or excited hens are searching for other turkeys and is heard most often in spring. Cackle

Hens cackle in 10- to 20-note series when flying up to and down from roost trees, and also when sailing across creeks, rivers, canyons and the like. Cackles, which are made up fast, irregular clucks and yelps, are followed up with basic clucks as turkeys hit the ground and gather themselves after flight.
