Wild Turkeys

Mmm...turkey. Sorry.. :p

Cool pics of nature. I once caught a shot of a deer that had leapt into our backyard years ago. Maybe no big deal to some here, but it wasn't a common occurance where I lived.

They are getting thick up here. I had to slow down on my last road ride, since I wasn't sure if a turkey in the spokes was a recoverable incident.

I spotted three about a month ago near the RR track by my house. I live less than 1 mile from downtown Mpls. Just like a freakin' Wild Kingdom episode.

I also have to report on my summer cabin trip to the Chequamegon National Forest, not only did I have a black bear siting, I canoed within like 10 feet of a mama loon with one of her babies riding on her back, the other trailing behind. First time I'd seen a baby getting a lift. So cool.

Excellent pics, 404. :thumpsup:
My family lives in MA, and report they've been lousy with turkey the last few years. It coinsides with a sharp decline in red fox in that area, so we're speculating there's a correlation.
