UMM WHO HAS THE RIGHT OF WAY?

Out early this morning for photos, but on my way to the grocery store I encountered this healthy flock. Turkey's were extinct in Maine until the government finally made a successful reintroduction in the late 70's. Now they are every where. Even on the streets where I live.

This is part of the charm of the area I live in. Another shot for my set-pushed challenge.

Happy New Year to the best community I have ever been part of. (Excuse my bad grammar)

How great to see them in the "wilds" of the neighborhood.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Except for the snow (which we don't have as much of right now- and no complaints there!) this could be my neighborhood too. Fun shot.

One I apparently missed - I love this - neat lighting on these turkeys - have never seem but one or two in the wild.

[Stephanie]

We don't get wild turkeys here in the UK, I find it quite lovely to just see them just wandering around like that! Fav. I see you had some really heavy snowfall!
