[stoneylonesome]

I guess it's unavoidable, If you commute to work by car you're going to have to deal with the occasional TURKEY :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

HHHHHHHH

Never seen Turkeys on the road like that before :)

[tupe]

Bizarre! (Unlike the drivers, these guys can't help it if they're turkeys!)

There are three turkeys that come down to and across a road near our house. In over 25 years I had never seen them around at all.

[stoneylonesome]

Thanks for the comments, the turkeys around here have now almost been elevated to PEST statues, they're every where, They even have been known to come out and chase joggers. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Michaelmjc]

haha, chase joggers! thats hilarious, funny shot.

[alfa1six4]

Maybe they should install a turkey crossing sign

[Preston]

Good catch. Great shot! Thanks for sharing.

[Jemmind]

Why did the turkey cross the road?
To proove he wasn't chicken.


Hehehe

Hmmm, do turkeys ever play chicken?

Nice catch.

[stoneylonesome]

Thanks all for the comments, I don't know if turkeys ever play chicken but I can tell you one thing for a large bird that take off and fly like a jet, they sure do take there sweet time walking across a road. Never fails, it's like there out for a Sunday stroll. :rolleyes: :lol: :lol:

could you freeze them (the camera didhttp://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif ) and have them for Christmas
(or thanksgiving , like jraun hints at ) ?

not sure if wild turkeys can be eaten ?
if you are hungry enough I guess they can

you never even had to get out of your car.
you must have been very speedy with the camera , even if they did take their time.

I can feel the panic
' get camera quick........ they are crossing so fast '
and trafffic waiting.

And yes, they do fly. I was sitting in a parked car one sunny morning and suddenly everything was dark. It was a turkey cruising over the car - the wingspan was huge.

[KartGirlsMom]

Nice shot. I have been trying to get a picture of our new flock of turkeys since the snow melted, but if I have my camera I don't see them and vice versa.

[TammieO]

I've only seen wild turkeys a few times on hikes. They're really shy around here.

[stoneylonesome]

Thanks all, It seems the only time there shy around here is hunting season. :lol: :lol: The rest of the time there as bold as anything, yes Marie they are good eating. more dark meat then the domestic ones have and they are on average a little smaller. A 20 pound turkey in the wild is considered very large. They are one of the hardest game birds to hunt, because the are very skittesh. the slightest noise or movement will send them running an flying. The reason I got the shot is that my camera is on the seat ready to go. :lol: :lol:

Here is anothe I took when he came along side the car. Little off on the focus but than again I was one, he the other and cars all around :lol: :lol:
