Omen: Turkeys Circling a Grave

Storyful reports that Paul Eickhof recorded this video of three turkeys repeatedly circling a particular tombstone in a cemetery in North Dakota.

Why? Popular Science tells us that turkeys sometimes circle potential threats. Their circular motion on the ground reflects their practice of flying as flocks rather than individual.

But why this grave? What is it about the person buried here that the turkeys find so alarming?

And I respect your point of view Mr. Farrier, even though I disagree with it. I will continue to let my conscience be my guide and avoid those links wherever, and whenever possible.:^)Thanks for the years of enjoyable internetting!

Greetings! As a (very) long time reader, I first want to say that I love Neatorama, so this next request hurts a bit as it seems like it should be obvious. Could you please stop linking to Elon Musk's racist, dumpster-fire social media platform Twitter (I will never call it X)?! Passive promotion is still promotion, and Musk and his cronies need to be actively boycotted. Thanks.
