New Turkey in Town

Walking home from City Hall today, I saw something unusual out of the corner of my eye. Investigating, I soon found myself tracking a turkey that was strutting behind buildings at East Seventh and Cleveland.

Here is the turkey attempting to trot across Cleveland Avenue.

Yikes! Does he know enough to look both ways?

Sanctuary! He reaches the grounds of Grace Episcopal Church.

I didn't see where he went after that. Hope he didn't run into the Cooper's Hawk, although the hawk is more used to dining on pigeons, as witness the feathers all over the place.

We have had deer, raccoons, opossums, skunks and groundhogs in our neighborhood, but this is the first time a wild turkey dropped by.
