Double take

This morning on my way to work I noticed several dark/black objects in a field off the side of the road. At first I thought they were cows (we have a lot of cows in Iowa). But as I got closer I quickly realized they were too small to be cows. So what were they?


They were wild turkeys!

There were about SEVEN of them just sitting on the side of the road like it was an average Tuesday morning. The best part though was they had their feathers spread and fluffed. They were HUGE!

My first thought--only in Iowa.

We actually just ate wild turkey for dinner last night. Take your shotgun with you to work next time! :)
