Turkeys try to catch train out of N.J.

[modrepub]

RAMSEY, N.J. - Some wild turkeys, it appears, were trying to get out of New Jersey before Thanksgiving Day. A spokesman for the NJ Transit said train officials reported a dozen or so wild turkeys waiting on a station platform in Ramsey, about 20 miles northwest of New York City, on Wednesday afternoon. The line travels to Suffern, N.Y.

4. don't know if you have met a real turkey

but those guys are big and intelligent. Their main flaw is their poor flying ability (for those old enough, think fully loaded B-52 taking off). I am always watching out for them here; I really don't want to hit one with my car.

If I found 20 or so waiting on a platform, I would do what ever they wanted.

Wild turkeys are cool. Domestic turkeys are... well, dinner.

want a run in with a flock of these...?

5. A wild turkey can catch and kill a bobcat.

I guess they do alright with flying, like the bumble bee.

Nice picture. :hi:
