I mean a wild turkey.

And while that may not be unusual on some campuses, I'm in Boston.

I've seen lots of bunnies over the years, and of course we're overrun w/ squirrels because you can't drive on campus.

But a turkey... that was pretty cool.


I wish I had had my camera with me.

1. A few years ago there were several wild turkeys on our corporate campus
Guess what was on the menu that day in the cafeteria?

2. That's so cool!
:hi: I love seeing atypical stuff on college campuses. When I worked at a women's college not long back, we had a beautiful hawk that loved to perch on my window-unit AC (it's an old college and didn't have central air at that time). When the assistant director and I went outside for lunch one day, we saw the hawk up in a tree in the square eating a squirrel he'd caught. We also had a deer that bolted through campus once---poor thing was scared and didn't know where to go. She darted into the woods, which was the best place she could have gone.

3. I have a dozen or so who live on my property.
Will Pitt says that they own and I just rent! I love to watch them. They are very pretty birds, especially the male when he does his mating dance.

4. So did Bush have anything to say?
SOMEONE had to post this. I elected myself.
