["lyneart" <lyneart@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was walking home  through neighbor Warren's woods yesterday afternoon on the 
way back from the creek after seeing some Blue-gray Gnatcatchers, a Kingfisher 
and a Barred Owl and photographing some Bluets. All of a sudden I heard a sound 
like someone dragging a tin can down a gravel road. It was a Wild Turkey and it 
was flying straight towards me. It passed 15 or 20 feet over my head. A second 
turkey was running along behind it. It veered off to my right and also took 
flight, bumping into tree branches with its wing tips. Then Pepper came 
scampering up over the hill from the same direction. The little thought balloon 
over her head said, as always, "I would'a bit em."
