Wanted: One crossing guard

 2013 Lydia Hinshaw

Two moms, dad, and 16 poults
 FORTINE, MT -- It started when I spotted a turkey's head poking out of the roadside grass. Prince Charming stopped the Magic Bus. The turkey stepped onto the pavement, and a youngster joined her.
 And then there were two, and three.  They kept coming.  And coming.
 By the time they were all in plain sight, there were two females, a male and 16 little guys and gals.
 I managed to get all 19 of them in a windshield shot, which thankfully wasn't ruined by all the smashed bugs we'd accumulated in wandering western Montana from Lolo to Eureka on our four-day weekend.
 You never know what will walk out in front of you around here.
