We were driving back to Duluth from our cabin in Brimson and I saw a turkey walking in the road. The last time I tried to take a picture of a turkey from the road I never got a clear picture. I pulled over and stopped.
Before I could even get my camera out, the turkey was walking toward me, making strange sounds like a puppy's bark and whimper. As I started taking pictures it turned and went the other way. I was able to get seven pictures from several different angles, most of them reasonably sharp. I wish I had thought to take a movie because of that whimper.
The turkey walked directly towards me one other time but generally walked parallel to me. If I had had a big net, I could have captured the turkey almost anytime. Finally I chased it to the side of the road and we went on our way.
