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."
