Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted
I often see groups of wild turkeys near my home.

A chapter in the book For the Birds

Wild Turkeys

by mermaids

Thanksgiving dinner
on the run
gangs of Cape Cod fowl
observing human habitation
birds who remind me
of the wildness that
once dominated this land

they huddle together
living in the woods
and grasses
running across roads
disappearing around
that November holiday

wild turkeys living
on Cape Cod
the feather gang
on the move
avoiding the dinner plate




I see many groups of wild turkeys here on Cape Cod. It is weird to see them in residential areas. They always seem tobe on the go and avoid getting hit by cars or injured.
