It's hard to believe that a bird this ugly has a reputation, especially among hunters, for being smart and wily. A few years ago one of its number launched itself across a Michigan highway at my car, taking out the driver side mirror and turning into instant roadkill. I opened the lens to its maximum aperture at 300mm to blur the edges of the heavy wire mesh that separated me from the turkey at the Lake Superior zoo.
