flying turkeys...who'd'a thunk it?!

A compadre told me he'd seen a turkey in his yard, and it flew! I couldn't believe it: I thought turkeys were some of the birds who couldn't get off of the ground. I believed him, but grudgingly! ;-D

So what did I see this weekend? A giant bird flying low across the interstate. I thought it was a pheasant, not knowing what else to think. Jerry said it was a wild turkey, instead. I guess I can believe the idea of a flying wild turkey, since I don't know much about them. I thought my friend was talking about one of those Ben Franklin kinds of turkeys!

So there you have it...my first sighting of a flying turkey. I'm still waiting to see my first moose.
