Talkin' Turkey

I shamefully forgot to mention an event that transpired yesterday. I was down here in my room, on my computer, when I heard this strange sound. My initial thought was,"Man, that's one sick tree-peeper." But then I heard it again, about five minutes later. The sound was coming from right outside one of the basement windows. That's why I thought it was a tree-peeper; we often have them in the window wells in the springtime. But the second time, I recognized the sound about a minute after I heard it. It was a turkey!! I raced upstairs to peek out the window, but I didn't see anything. I thought about getting a gun, but decided to get my camera and take a picture if I could. I came back downstairs, got my camera, and crept out the back door. I didn't get to see him at all, but I know it was a turkey. I only wish I could have seen him for real.

Here's a good picture of one.
