this morning i had my long run at the peninsula. it was really early and there weren't many people on the trail, so I, as a woman, was trying to be cautious and aware of my surroundings. I was running down a winding part of the path and all of a sudden as i rounded a curve, something darted out in front of me. I gasped, it was.. it was...
a wild turkey.
mr. turkey was HUGE, his head was almost up to my shoulder! he ran in front of me for a few moments and then darted into the woods. i was kinda scared he would peck me and give me a black eye like those ostriches in 'dude, where's my car'. but alls well that ends well.....

There is an entire flock on turkeys that I see quite often on my way to the park. We also have run by an occasional turkey. Our treat early Saturday was 2 deer and a rabbit in Forest Circle-the middle of town. My most rare spotting was a fox. That makes the running so much better!
