Turkeys By The Bridge

I was cycling to work this morning, heading up the rise to the bridge over Putah Creek, when I saw a flock of seven tom turkeys crossing the road. They were most of the way over on the east side of the road, but were indecisive and had thoughts about heading to the west side. When I came closer on my bike, six of them flew off west, joined shortly by the seventh who was already in the brush, and landed about 75 meters west from the road, just south of Putah Creek.

  1. Here in Wisconsin, seeing turkeys fly is about as close as we ever get to seeing bowling balls with wings. Except that the return of the wild turkey is a lovely thing, seeing one fly is is not a pretty sight. IMHO.
