Another note from my ride this morning: I had to slow down for some pedestrian turkey that just couldn't wait for me to go by before jay-walking.

No seriously. It was a turkey, of the wild variety. We've got a bunch of them in the woods and natural area surrounding our house. I only saw 3 hens this morning, but I've seen big groups of 15-20 of them from time to time. The toms sometimes puff all up and look really impressive.

The closer I got to the hen crossing the street, the faster she ran. It was a bit comical.
