Wild Turkeys


It's been a very long time since I posted.  I have moved twice and started a new job since April so I've been a bit busy.  Today I wanted to share a quick post about a flock of while turkeys I've fallen in love with.

My new home is near a park in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania.  Each day on my way to work part of my commute takes me along the boarder of the park and some mornings there is a flock of wild turkeys on a hillside that I drive past.  I smile every time I see them and and think they are so beautiful!

The first morning I saw them they were quite close to the road.  I thought perhaps I needed to put my life on hold for a few hours and call someone who might persuade them to waddle back into the woods.  There are about 15 birds in the flock and I desperately wanted to pull over and take a photo of them because I assumed this was a one time occurrence.  I drove on to work instead and told everyone I could about the turkeys.

Lucky for me that hillside seems to be their happy home and I see the turkeys quite regularly!  Every morning when I see them I can't help but smile.  I can't really explain why but it feels like such a blessing that these turkeys are living a wild and free life so close to a major city. 

I'm always driving up a steep hill when I see them so I can't really stop and take a picture.  I trust you can understand why I had to borrow the image above from the internet :-)
