Wild Turkey!!!
Fellow Flickr member Reid Hildebrandt ( NatureThroughNorthernEyes ) and I were driving along Secrest Hills Road near Oliver, B.C., when a sight we couldn't believe made us slam on the brakes. A Wild Turkey was sitting under a ponderosa pine on the side of the road! Upon getting out the car, the turkey cowered down in the tall grass, trying to somehow hide itself. When we approached, it quickly got up and methodically strutted away. It turned out to be a lifer - #307 for B.C.! It was also the first Wild Turkey to be reported in the South Okanagan in the last several years.
