I was hiking once, early spring and kept hearing what sounded like small
puppies or something.

Finally was able to pick out some young turkeys in the brush. Very weird
sound.

And no matter what Benjamin Franklin said, not a terribly bright animal.
I once saw one try to leap over a eighteen wheeler on the highway, only
to collide with the upper front edge of the trailer and come flying over
its roof as a completely unrecognizable cloud of guts and feathers.
What really surprised me though in regards to wildlife was the source of
the strange deep bellows that would sometimes come out of the northeast
when I was working nights at our airport. Apparently there are wild
moose wandering around just northeast of town, although I've never seen
one.
