msfledermaus | Wild Turkey with dinner... (Reply)

No, not that kind. Gail and I were having a little supper on the Patio, and this big, pretty bird wandered over to the parking lot. "Is that one of Peat's?" Gail asked me. I thought it might be at first, because it was pretty tame--we took turns throwing it bread crumbs, which it gobbled up. Then another neighbor drove up, and said,"Hey look--it's that wild turkey again!"

Turns out it's this juvenile turkey that just likes hanging out by the chicken coop. The neighbors have been tossing out extra feed to keep it around, since it's so beautiful. I love living on the Island so very, very much when stuff like this happens...
