wild turkey

Wild turkeys in suburbia?!! We were having a quiet, early evening dinner party on the patio with my parents visiting and my dad says "Oh look, a turkey." At first we thought he was talking about our neighbor. Then we thought it was the heat (or the wine) getting to him. But no, a wild turkey just strolled on by along our fence, across the street and into another yard. Since our neighborhood is heavily populated with 1/8th acre lots, this seemed remarkable. Skippy thought so too. He's hoping to get a closer look next time.

Hi, we just returned from a trip to Boston, and much to our surprised Texan eyes, from a trolley window, we saw a wild turkey foraging with the pigeons in a downtown-Boston grassy area.

I looked online to see if anyone had written about him because I wanted to include him in an article for a newspaper this Friday in Texas. So far, your beautifully landscaped blog is the only mention of a turkey in suburbia.

Love your photos...
