[EBB Sightings] turkeys at Virginia and La Loma in Berkeley

Hi Jay and Kathleen,
   Cool!  I haven't seen any here, but they have been
reported from east of the hills in Tilden and  Wildcat
Canyon and periodically from the UC  Berkeley campus
(typically Strawberry Canyon but occasionally a single
bird as far west as Mulford Hall near the West
Circle).

Cheers,
Alan

While taking a walk in Berkeley yesterday, we stumbled
across a group of 6 male wild turkeys and a number of
surprised onlookers.  It was the first time I'd seen
wild turkeys in Berkeley, but North Berkeley does
attract quite a nice variety of wildlife generally.

  
I'm wondering if anybody else has seen turkeys in
Berkeley before (especially Alan Krakauer?).
