Birds Of A Feather...

Nat and I went semi-exploring today, during our random free time between classes (i.e., I needed to go to the real post office and she wanted to look for her doctor's office). So we're driving around what seems to be part suburbs/part middle of nowhere, looking for her doctor's. We turn into a relatively residential neighbourhood and all of a sudden see this...

In case you can't tell, those are WILD TURKEYS. In someone's front yard. OH MAN.

I'd heard that people in New England have wild turkeys wandering around, but that was my friend from Maine who told me, not suburban Massachusetts!

AND THEN...

We're pulling into the parking lot back at school and we see a bird dive down right in front of us. There's a hawk (or possibly falcon, I can't tell the difference) that lives on campus and it POUNCED ON A CHIPMUNK RIGHT IN FRONT OF US. We turned around and then it flew off, eating the dead chipmunk it had just caught.

I am suitably impressed by Massachusetts now. We get cool stuff in California, but nothing like this!
