First, a turkey.



See? TURKEY!

And where did we see this noble creature? In the zoo? On a farm? On my street where, inexplicably, we always find runaway turkeys right before Thanksgiving? (Well, that's explicable after all, I guess.)

Nope!

In that playground by the SI Ferry in Battery Park!

I've known since high school about the wild turkeys in Battery Park, but I never saw one except at a distance before! Did you know they can fly and perch in trees above your head?

Too cool.

And, because I took it today:



Evangeline being cute. I would've taken one of Ana too, but she went into a snit. *shrugs* What can you do?

You didn't know about the turkeys in Battery Park?

No, no I hadn't. Or perhaps I just walked past without noticing?? I'm so used to them from when I lived at JC in Westchester that turkeys don't faze me, unless they're on my plate. ^_^
