Video: Raccoon and Turkey Take a Stroll (Ottawa - June 1)

Hello All,
This footage surprised me a bit, especially knowing that raccoons are one of the top predators of turkeys, in terms of raiding nests, taking down poults, and even taking out adult birds - especially hens.

Pretty cool and I to would have thought the raccoon would attack the turkey but I guess not.

I wish the raccoon living in my backyard tree would take a stroll - a LONG stroll. :)

I feel your pain. Plenty of fun on the cams far away from the house. In your own backyard - not so much.

Judging from the time step high temp, maybe both were feeling the heat too much to even bother with one another, lol!
