Wild Turkey


No, I'm not talking about the whiskey. Rather, this is what we saw the other day sitting by our car as The Wife was getting ready to take the kids to school. This is one of my favorite aspects to living in the "country" (an ironic term given that we're about six miles from the City) - we never know what kind of wildlife we are going to encounter. Thus far, within a 100 yard circumference of our house we've seen deer (on a daily basis, actually; they feed on our lawn), coyote, fox, hawks and even an eagle. While running the trails I've encountered elks, bobcats and assorted snakes. Let's just hope that I never add mountain lion to this list.

Anyway, despite it's graininess, I really love this photo, which was taken by The Wife. Evidently the turkey was gobblin' away, and the kids are still talking about its size.
