WTF?!?

[hellziggy]

Driving in to work today, I turned the corner from one city street onto another headed for the highway, and the traffic was stopped on both sides. I could sort of see flapping wings & my first thought was "f**king Canada Geese. Just run them over." Then I got closer. It wasn't geese.
It was 3 wild turkeys!
I've never seen wild turkeys just hanging out on the road, especially not in the suburbs. It was cool! Unfortunately since I didn't want to be late for work I didn't have time to pull over to take pictures. Dammit! This is why I carry the camera with me at all times and I couldn't even take advantage of it!

Cool that you saw turkeys. Bad that it snarled traffic so bad! :) Poor little guys were probably scared. The only time I have dealt with birds in the road was a gigantic white goose that didn't want to back down from mom's station wagon! Stupid bird. Flapping its wings at me, honking, and standing in the middle of the road. I just sat and looked at it, and I think it eventually got bored and walked away.
