I stopped my car, what I thought were chickens on the railroad tracks

[Screebert]

I assumed they were chickens that may have been abandoned on the railroad tracks! I got out, and called my standard call, "chicken!" I walked closer, and they weren't afraid of me at all. Then I saw they had red, featherless heads & necks. One of them stretched out his/her giant wingspan, and they all looked at me indignantly.

I think they were turkey vultures.

In Lake Oswego, Oregon, where Bryant st. crosses the railroad. About 7 pm.

Or that the white fuzzy slipper shaped like a chicken was a White Cochin bantam and you had to turn around and get it before it was hit by a car...

I used to live in the apartments right below the train tracks there on the corner. Before they built the condos that blocked my view of the trains I loved! That pizza place across the street is the BEST (or it was 7 years ago.)

Small world.
Did you take pics?

I once thought a cat that was washing its underside with one leg sticking up was a wild turkey.

We have turkey vultures here. Everytime I happen upon one on the side of the road and see that neck I shudder. I wonder if that's why I'm not fond of turkens?

I was taking my 2 sons skiing at Waterville Valley, on the access road to the mtn I see 2 horses in the distance on the side of the road. I was really worried and couldn't figure out how they would have gotten to that area...drive a little closer...they're moose! I was laughed at!

Those are some pretty big chickens! What, did you think they were turkens on steroids?
