Title: Unusual Sightings
Post by: tomstopper on August 20, 2012, 10:43:48 AM
This past weekend my wife & I took our young daughters to a water park called Camelbeach in Tannersville PA where they do skiing in the winter as well. We were at the top of a ride waiting our turn when I looked about 60yds up one of the slopes and seen 2 gobblers walking right in the middle of it. I got excited and my wife made the comment that we cant even go on a little vacation without me looking for turkeys. It just got me wondering where else people have spotted turkeys in unthinkable places?

Not sure if it's unthinkable, but I've seen plenty of birds in Disney World.

I meant car!

Seriously, I did see a white pen raised turkey on the side of the road in the middle of the night while driving to North Carolina. Maybe it fell off the ButterBall truck!

Saw one setting on a power pole one time.    Also saw one on a small island one time, but he's no longer with us.

Saw a flock of about 12-15 birds walking along railroad tracks in an industrial area in Buffalo, NY.  Saw them from a bridge on the New York State Thruway going over the tracks.

Wasn't Disney World, but I saw a dead hen laying in the parking lot at the Orlando airport last year when I flew in to turkey hunt.
