I only have one #photo to do this at the moment, it's of a #turkey (well, two actually) so should #turkeytuesday be a thing?

Speaking of #FeedingBirds , the local turkeys enjoyed the leftover dried corn this morning (there was NONE left after their feasting).

So, Canada Geese aka cobra chickens are well known for their aggressive territoriality.

Wild turkeys are larger and relentlessly persistent however. Most of us would not want to be on the wrong side of one. Come spring, we give turkey hens wandering about with their chicken-sized fluffy grey chicks a wide berth.

While they are native to Ontario originally, wild turkeys were extirpated from the Canada by 1909. Mid twentieth century efforts to restore wild turkeys in the United States were picked up in Canada.

Reintroduction for Ontario efforts of the mid 1980s were successful and current efforts focus on distributing the population and maintaining a population for hunting.

Ottawa, with its extensive greenbelt, has many natural corridors for wild turkeys.

A major intersection with high traffic volume in Ottawa unfortunately seems to have become a regular hangout for some turkeys to the misfortune of pedestrians, especially if a pedestrian appears to be trying to walk away from them.

A pair of them decided that they needed to follow a someone this weekend and someone caught it on video.

Enjoy.

Here's something I bet you don't see very often.

We see these guys any morning we head into town. Always in the same general location and not particularly concerned if they wander into the road and block traffic. I love that they're here.

ETHEL UPDATE: The picnic table is now a dinosaur roost, apparently. #birds #WildTurkeys

I went on a little bikepacking trip this week by Anthony's Nose and had a great time. I saw and heard a lot of wild turkeys out there, so I decided to make this drawing of them with my colored pen set.
