Heh, this morning I had a flock of turkeys wandering around my neighborhood. My response: Dinner!
I need to remember my camera next time.
You don't live up north do you? My parents in west Michigan (where I grew up) have big ol' wild turkey flocks roaming their neighborhood - a sight unseen when I lived there, just 13 years ago.
Traditional (past fifty years) hunting limits are causing a game peak right now I think. They're even having black bears in for lunch!

Yes, I do indeed live up north. Just need to find my archery equipment, as I doubt the city would appreciate me setting off a shotgun.
And yes, there's always a flock of them. I pretty much figure it's 3-4 hens and a bunch of their nearly grown chicks.
This is bugging me. So exactly WTF did folks call roadrunners before there were roads?
The roadrunner has been called the war bird, the snake eater, and medicine bird by groups of Native Americans.
The bird's Spanish name is paisano, which means "countryman".
The Roadrunner is also called the Chaparral Cock.
Roadrunners are ground cuckoos.
I quick search gave me that list and who knows what else....
Stand, I was just thinking how I should move to your neck of the woods when I "retire" and shoot coyotes for the rest of my days.
This would be a good spot for it.
