Turkeys in the wild, by Jonathan

OK, not Thanksgiving, but the day Ari and I found turkeys as we sped down the 5 freeway at 65 mph.  Yes, wild turkeys have made a home in the corporate campuses around Sacramento.  I pointed them out to Ari: "Ari!  Do you see the turkeys?!"

Ari was all "What??"  I don't think he knew what a real turkey looked like, so I decided this was a learning opportunity and pulled off the exit and went into the parking lot that lined the freeway section where the turkeys were hanging out.

When we pulled into the lot, I swung the van so the turkeys were just a few feet from the window.  He was thrilled.  "Those are turkeys?!  They're so big, Daddy!"


Here is a picture  of the male turkeys.  Notice how they are showing off their studly plumage.

Here is a picture of the female turkeys they were protecting.

This is funny... this shot make it look like there is just one turkey with two heads.  Hehe..
