While grading today there were a gaggle, flock, herd, or actually, a stampede of wild turkey’s running down the road in front of the grader.  A very amusing sight and one of those, “I should have a camera with me…” moment.

Turkey’s are ugly birds but very intelligent. The male turkeys know the calendar and hunting seasons better than any hunter.

It was inspirational and a ‘smile’ moment for sure.

In the snow one track followed another and another and another…

Flowing gray and black with heads held forward; tail feathers back

Talking among themselves about who, what, and where.

There was no need for such to look back

Veering off the track, the road, into thick snow and brush

Driving past, a smile and wave.
