Mike's Goose rant reminded me of an incident last week.
I'm driving to the mall on one of the smaller local roads in the area. It had just snowed a good twenty or so inches a day before, so the snow banks were high on either side of the road.
Well, a couple of wild Turkeys were crossing the road, and because of the difficulty, were taking longer than they should. Fortunately, they were at the base of a long hill, and I saw them from several hundred meters away, and slowed right down.
The idiot in front of me didn't. If anything, he sped up.
I saw an explosion of feathers and as one bird leaped and flew over the car. Feathers were all over the road, and the rest of the flock scattered.
Excepting the actions of the idiot in the car, it was one of the funniest things I'd ever seen. All the birds were fine and continued walking off into the woods, slightly less covered, but alright.
Just thought I'd share.
