While out today, I happened upon a couple other residents out for a stroll. You will recall I live quite close to the Arboretum, as well as another nearby prairie/marshland? A lady with whom I stopped to chat a few minutes said they are seen along this particular street fairly frequently, though this was the first I'd seen them. But then, maybe they were keeping a low profile during the fall, with Thanksgiving and Christmas fast approaching? And yes, they did look both ways before crossing the street. Apparently they are a lot brighter than the raccoons. *Grin*

The raccoons aren't dumb, just arrogant. They are convinced that everybody else better get out of their way, and after having run into a few in the depths of the night, I'm not included to argue.
Ah, arrogance. So that's what keeps running 'em over. LOL
Yes, well. I was on foot. It's a whole 'nother game with a car.
Cute that the checked both ways before crossing the street! lol
The turkeys out here travel in thick flocks. They make YOU get outta the way. lol
Jana: If I saw an entire flock coming my direction, I would definitely give way, LOL.
I've never seen a live turkey, much less one walking down the street! How funny that they looked both ways!
Rebecca: I'm used to seeing them in fields outside of town or strutting through the Arboretum, but this was the first I'd seen tham sauntering down a city street. Though not a high-traffic area, roosting in the neighborhood must make them used to checking for cars.
