The Bird

I mentioned my unusual sighting of books in the park the other day. That wasn’t the only interesting thing to see in the park. Another day, as I returned from exercising, I stopped short when I saw a really large bird picking at food on the ground. With it’s size, larger than the usual pigeon or sparrow-like bird in the park, it clearly looked like it did not belong there. Call me a wuss but I was scared to walk past it. I didn’t know what its reaction towards me would be. It stopped eating to looked at me. I suppose, when it determined I wouldn’t approach it, it continued to peck at the ground. The bird was very skittish and kept raising it’s head to watch what I was doing. It was nervous and so was I. However, I wasn’t too nervous to pull out my camera and take some photos. I would have liked to get some close ups but I was too scared. As a result, I clicked away from a safe distance. I took a few more moments to watch the bird and then I moved on. Of course, the bird was nowhere to be found the next day when I passed by. I wonder what happened to it. Can anyone tell me what kind of bird this is? Sort of looks like a turkey? What do you think?
