Why did the (wild) turkey cross the road?

Apparently to get to the other side.  We were out with Russ yesterday morning and were down by our community mailbox and saw two wild turkeys walking (strutting?) across the street.  Didn't seem fazed by us or Russ.  Last we saw they were walking into another backyard on our street.  Wished I would've had our camera.  What was funny were the wet footprints they left on the pavement.
