Washington state
Wooded areas in the state hold some amazing wildlife ,I live over here in Agawam along the Connecticut River,I;ve seen bear,coyotes,foxes red and gray,mink,beavers,wild turkeys,deer,had a black squirrel out back,ended up a hawks lunch,many hawks hunt overhead,seen Bald Eagles,Bobcats,all within a 5 mile radius from home,wildlife is AMAZING.
 

We have a bunch of those turkeys out here in northeastern Oregon, too! So... they might have come from Oregon!
 

I believe it was Ben Franklin who wanted the national bird to be the turkey rather than the eagle. He considered the eagle to be a carrion eater. Which it is. But still a better choice.

Dead is so much easier that expending energy to catch it,just come and get it.
 

That's funny. You need a Turkey Crossing there sign. 😁
Always a good idea to warn motorist of heavy wildlife traffic. Here in the Colorado Rockies I came up on a toad crossing sign. I definitely slowed down and kept an eye out, so not to squish any.

I've seen so many in my front yard at once you couldn't even get a good count. It's fun to watch them. We put out corn and bird seed and have many critters show up. We saw our first (and probably only ever) "ghost turkey" last summer. A full grown white wild turkey in a large flock. Haven't seen it again.
