Turkey Tom

Hutto's sketch from his book,
Illumination in the Flatwoods
We just watched the PBS special "My Life as a Turkey".  A documentary about a guy, Joe Hutto, who lived with a flock of wild turkey's for a year - from their birth he acted as parent - until they naturally left and roosted on their own. It was fascinating. Dave, the kids and I were all entranced, even teary-eyed at the end. I draw two conclusions:

1) Turkeys - who knew?!
2) me = PBS junkie.

He's now living with a pack of mule deer in Wyoming...I can hardly wait.
