Today I was doing some gardening along the driveway. I was carefully trimming one of my roses when I heard this huge swooshing noise above my head. I looked up and it was a turkey flying out of the old Oak of my neighbors! It flew across the street into the trees behind Saint Joseph's Seminary, but when I went to find it I no longer saw it.Later in the afternoon I was talking with my other neighbor, Jim (who has lived here 30+ years), and he said that the Garfield Park Nature Preserve used to have a flock of about 30 that flew around from time to time. He was pretty amazed though, he hasn't heard of one being seen for years around the Alger Heights area.

Waal Nate,

I will have to have Preston come to Grand Rapids to get it. I am sure that this is not my thing. (I would eat it though!)
I was driving down Eastern to go to work, so almost to 68th st. when 8-10 turkeys flew across the street. I had to slam on the ole brakes because they don't fly very high. Should've just plowed through and maybe it would have totaled my car.
I had five turkey in my yard last week. Leonard and Walker, five minutes from downtown. I also have fox in my yard which is fun.
Try chasing them with the kids, Noah enjoyed this activity, however the turkeys did not enjoy it.
