I saw turkeys crossing the road in front of me but had enough time to slow down and enjoy watching them, but what rider1200 said, we did have a turkey vulture "buzz" us going down the road. had to pull over and calm down a few minutes. The picture of the vulture's feet are still embedded in my mind, they were so close!

I live on the Cuyahoga Valley National Park here...you see deer, turkey buzzards every day. At night you see packs of coyotes as well. Lots of close calls. The turkeys are so stupid they sit in the road and back up traffic for a mile in the morning.

Damn. A turkey in my face would probably require a change of pants.
I came across a squirrel sleeping in the middle of the road recently. I thought he was roadkill. Right when I got to him, he jumped up and ran across the road in front of me. Scared the crap outta me, just because I wasn't expecting a dead squirrel to do that!
