PHOTO OF THE DAY: Wild Turkeys

Getting a head start on Thanksgiving or just taking a stroll?

I spotted this herd of wild turkeys outside my house on Friday morning. It was a first for me, and I can only imagine, a little unusual for the Perry Hall area. But then again, I live right near the hunting-free Gunpowder Falls State Park.

I walked closer and closer until some raptor-like gobbling shooed me away.
