Wild Turkeys

[Bilge_Rat]

so, I was driving home from the cottage yesterday. As I turned on to the on ramp to the highway, I saw something in the road. At first I thought it was a heron, but as I got closer I saw it was a wild Turkey.

These things are huge! when it stood up it was over 4 feet tall.

Seems it got lost and was not sure what to do. I got out of the car and managed to shoo it off the highway. Poor thing seemed scared out of its wits.

After a little digging, turns out there are lots of these birds in my area, but this is the first time I saw one.
