Birds of a feather

I have written before about the surplus of skunks around the Vineyard. There are also many flocks of wild turkeys on the island. They pop up in unexpected places and generally behave as if they own the place. Just before I snapped this picture, this particular group nonchalantly strutted across a busy Vineyard Haven street -- and traffic came to a complete halt as they crossed. They are certainly not pretty birds by any stretch of the imagination. But they walk as proudly as supermodels on a Paris runway.
