Roamin' Ramona —A Turkey's Way of Life

It's not uncommon to see a group of turkeys wandering across front lawns in Ramona Oaks, according to one resident, who finds them "beautiful."

It may be a few times a week or it could be once a month. It can happen at any time of year — wild turkeys plodding quietly across neighborhood front lawns.

Until dogs bark.

Then the big birds freeze in place and it's a collective "gobble, gobble, gobble."
