Turkey Trot June 29, 2016

I have lived here long enough that I should not be surprised by fauna, yet I am.  Just now on a quick drive to the market, I had barely turned onto the road when I had to break for a wild turkey mother and her three young on the asphalt.  Unlike the doe of a few weeks ago, this mama appeared to be paying close attention to her offspring, making sure that they would all make it across the road together – a sort of do or die situation.  Though I find the adult wild turkey to be a decided homely bird, the little ones appear quite cute, with grey feathers sticking out every which way.
