We've seen them on and off in our woods. My elderly father-in-law saw one sitting in a tree. He was convinced it was a hornets' nest, so he returned with a can of spray. He certainly startled the turkey who was just resting on the limb. The turkey took off after my father-in-law, and chased him through the woods! Wild turkeys are funny to watch.

I think we might be in an Alfred Hitchcock movie in more ways than one. We have the Canada geese here too who have decided it's just not worth flapping their wings to go that extra few hundred miles north come summer. And for some reason their favorite habitat seems to be traffic islands. Life is getting very curious! Hey, Mary, hadn’t thought about getting trapped in the car!

Here on the Cape we have a lot of turkeys, including a flock that likes to run back and forth across Route 6 in Truro, causing some pretty hairy traffic jams, expecially in the summer when they have their babies. I guess they can be pretty agressive and the thought of that woman walking through Boston with a turkey pecking at her backside fits right in with that. Funny as it seems it's probably not fun to have it done to you. Still makes me laugh, though. The best stories you hear around here are about people that get trapped in their cars because they're surrounded by turkeys looking in their windows and pecking at the glass. Thanks for the chuckle. ;-) I’m sorry but this post just cracked me up.
