Re: bird. "Turkey" was an English adjective back in the day, meaning "exotic," and that's how the strange birds in Massachusetts got their name. They nearly died out here in New England before being reintroduced with birds from Missouri in the seventies. Now they're so unexotically plentiful I practically have to nudge them out of the way as I walk to my cabin.

Not a bad way to do it, actually. What’s the point of going someplace and seeing the same old things? We certainly avoided that one, this time!
