Turkeys in flight

Within a week's tome I had two opportunities to see wild turkeys in flight. The first occurred as I was heading home from meeting with a borrower at his home deep in the countryside of Marian County southeast of Columbus. As I headed back to the main road down a dirt road my eye caught a Tom and a jenny (is that right?) jerking into flight from a spot alongside the road. That experience was followed by the sight of another tom and jenny blasting across my path as I headed west toward LaGrange from Greenville yesterday morning. Both experiences were novel and somewhat awe-inspiring. In some ways a tom turkey in flight is more of an awesome sight than most raptors or other birds in flight. They are huge birds and appear like an ocean liner or large navy ship crossing tour path. Amazing.
