I had this happen a couple years back. Still one of the strangest encounters I’ve ever had happen.

One time in Nebraska I was trying to roost one for the next morning and nothing but an old lone hen came in to the roost tree. It was still slightly daylight and she had already flew up behind me. I got up to leave and she flew down and landed to my left about 10 feet. I started walking to the truck and she followed me the entire way about 10 feet to my left. When I got in the truck she turned around and ran back towards the roost because it was getting pretty dark at that point. It was like she was escorting me out of there.
