Wild turkeys can fly, not very far but they can. While shooting one
Eastern Regionals at Quantico from the 1000 yard line I managed to whack a crow in flight about 600 yards downrange..........sheer dumb luck, big puff of feathers and bird bits.

Yeah - they only lifted across the road and then landed.
Was recently surprised by a roadrunner doing the same thing - I thought they were ground-bound as well, but I recently saw one cruise over a fence. -- - Rufus Ron wrote: Wild turkeys can fly, not very far but they can.
