WHITTIER, Iowa (AP) — Commuters say a wild turkey nicknamed Jake is causing a daily traffic hold up in this eastern Iowa city.
Jake stations himself next to the road, ready to run off any vehicle that slows down for a better look, said Melissa Davidson, who lives nearby.
"He's out here every morning," she said. "People get out of their cars to shoo him off the road, and he just circles the cars. It's really funny to watch. He's not afraid of people."
