Driving on my way to Riverhead, I was flabbergasted to notice a wild turkey scuttling across the pedestrian crosswalk on route 24.

To me, the bird appeared exactly like a human pedestrian, the way it nicely crossed the road. Then, suddenly noticing the fast moving cars, it became nervous. The turkey, soon began flapping its wings, and within no time it took off into the air.

“What a clever bird,” I cried out. I thought it must have witnessed cars crush birds and animals under their speeding and cruel wheels.
