And Our Other National Bird

 As I was getting closer to Fish Point, I saw a flock of turkeys in a field.  Of course I had to stop.

They were far enough away that I don't think they noticed me.

So I was able to get a few shots.

I think this is a young turkey.

A pair of them.

Another shot of the pair.

It is said that Benjamin Franklin proposed that the turkey be our national bird.  I'm not sure if he was serious or not but I've heard that turkeys can be pretty nasty when provoked.  Anyway, it would have been interesting and unique.  I don't think any other country has a turkey as its national bird.
