Model As and turkeys

[Patrick L.]

Just had to stop about 50 yards from home to let a herd of 22 turkeys cross the road. Should have taken a picture.

If I'd be a turkey, I'd also begin roaming at this time of year -- they must sense that Thanksgiving is just around the corner.

Oh, I thought you were talking about 22 Chev's in the road.

On the other hand, if you were away from home & would happen to veer off course & pass through Washington D.C., this type of a (22) turkey crossing sighting would not be very newsworthy; unless of course, they would all be driving Model A's with whitewall tires.

Must be blackwalls to be politically correct in D.C. - lol.

Hehehehe, if I were/was passing thru DC in the 'A' [ or probably any other car] and any amount of those turkeys crossed in front of me I doubt I would have stopped, or, even slowed down. I might even turn around and try to get a few more.

Herd of turkeys? Nope, but I saw a flock of 'em.

Get the flock out of here, how many?

A group of turkeys is technically called a “rafter”, though they are often incorrectly referred to as a “flock”.

There was smaller school of them wandering around later when I was mowing the north 40 and a nice gaggle of them near dark. [ smiley face].

This forum is the best on the web! In 76 years I never knew a group of turkeys was called a rafter.

I must leave now...there is a "rafter" that meets for coffee at McDonalds every morning.

This is probably the only site where one can truly ascertain that:

............. Our entire future is hanging in the "rafters".
