We spent the day driving through this miserable weather to spend the holiday with Kellly’s parents in Virginia. As we were driving up Creedmoor road near Falls Lake, I saw the truck ahead of us startle a large bird by the roadside. The large flapping wings had me thinking it was a Great Blue Heron but as we got closer I was amused to find I was wrong. It was a big, honkin’ wild turkey! One lucky enough not to be joining its brethren on the kitchen table tomorrow. I’d have thought he would’ve been lying low this time of year.
Have a good Turkey Day, wherever you are.
