Turkey's are taking over the country I've noticed. I saw some hanging around a busy shopping mall.

We have a bunch of those turkeys out here in northeastern Oregon, too! So... they might have come from Oregon!

Don't forget the coyotes.

Yeah they're right a home everywhere anymore.

And to think that they were almost our national bird

The coyotes around here look pretty healthy....

They know where the goodies are....where the people are.

I did not know that....I guess they can actually fly....to a certain extent.

Could have flown from here to there too.

I believe it was Ben Franklin who wanted the national bird to be the turkey rather than the eagle. He considered the eagle to be a carrion eater. Which it is. But still a better choice.

Dead is so much easier that expending energy to catch it,just come and get it.

My thoughts precisely!

Always a good idea to warn motorist of heavy wildlife traffic. Here in the Colorado Rockies I came up on a toad crossing sign. I definitely slowed down and kept an eye out, so not to squish any.

I've seen so many in my front yard at once you couldn't even get a good count. It's fun to watch them. We put out corn and bird seed and have many critters show up. We saw our first (and probably only ever) "ghost turkey" last summer. A full grown white wild turkey in a large flock. Haven't seen it again.
