Wild Turkeys

Until about five years ago, the only turkey I had ever seen was the Thanksgiving kind.
But then those Wild Ones began to appear everywhere!

And they are wild indeed.  Scary even.  Last week I saw a poor fellow trying to keep about four of them at bay by using his bicycle as a shield.
The first time I saw them in my neighborhood was (believe it or not!) on a Thanksgiving Day.  I thought "how adorable" and "how appropriate" and got out the camera.
However, they soon got aggressive and spoiled my photographic endeavor.


I wonder why I am seeing so many of them!

I wonder how they taste.
