As I was driving down one of our Prospect CT roads this morning, Tom just came walking out of the woods and crossed the road behind me. I had to stop and see if he would pose for me, and he did.
I'll bet he knows what month it is, but will know better than to walk so blatantly come October and hunting season opens.
Aww...let Tom have his day lol...you know he will be hiding out soon poor thing lol :)!
I love it Ed! They must have a built-in sonar that tells them it is safe to be seen this time of year and when to cross the road. Great catch!
LOL Ed, they are brave aren't they? And this one must know how good looking he is.
I love your quote that he had better watch out when it is hunting season. He looks very cavalier at the moment but wait till October than we will see. GREAT picture and thank you.
Ed, there is something about the strut of a tom turkey for sure...i happened across 3 of them yesterday and I had to brake hard for my way...first I've seen in awhile. Hope you had a good day.
Ed, I have a whole family of Tom's relatives hanging out in our neighborhood and the woods behinds our street. They make frequent appearances but are quick about crossing the roads. Nice shot.
I have a great recipe for Wild Turkey and Wild Rice, Ed. . .tsk, tsk! And, a whole cookbook for road-kill:-)
Ed == Tom is a very smart Turkey.. He knows it is spring and he can stop and post for your photo. Once the temperatures start to cool Tom will be moving much more quickly.
I am always amazed by the wild life that lives in suburban and some urban areas.
Good morning, Ed. At one time, turkeys were few and far between here in TN. Now it is not unusual to see a flock of 20 - 30 at a time. No hunting season in TN on turkeys...
Hi Ed. I do believe a flock of these just clinched a sale for me crossing the driveway to a listing as we pulled up.
Good morning Ed - great photo. Right place, right time, for both you and for the turkey :)
He can be out in plain view looking for dinner when he knows he won't be part of the menu !
Oh Ed what an amazing photo I just love it .You are right he would be a fool to try that in October
Hi Ed. Have you ever had wild turkey? They have a much different taste than domesticated.
Hi Ed, one thing about CT is that there's plenty of wildlife on the roads. I saw a family of deer cross just the other day!
