[EBB Sightings] wild turkeys on Piedmont Ave.

Not an urban legend!

Yesterday, while driving up the sidestreet between
Piedmont Grocery and Peet's coffee, I saw a large bird
standing, then walking calmly in the road. As I drove
closer, I realized that it was a turkey, and not one
bird, but two! There was a wide-eyed gal on a cell
phone following the birds around, slack-jawed with
amazement. Not sure who she was calling (Animal
Control, the Audubon Society, or Ghostbusters) but
smart-ass that I am, as I drove by, I shouted out..."a
little early for Thanksgiving, enit?" 

So big, so handsome, so adaptable (so delicious?);
gotta love turkeys.
