A Visitor to Greenacres

Surprised Brite Avenue and Brewster Road residents both reported seeing a wild turkey on their properties this weekend. The gobbler was spotted in the backyard of a Brite Avenue home on Saturday night and then flew up to the roof. On Sunday morning, the turkey made a racket on the roof – gobbling, rustling its feathers and shaking the entire house. When the homeowner climbed onto the roof wearing sunglasses, a hooded sweatshirt and gloves --ready to catch the bird -- it was already gone.

However at 7 am on Easter morning, a Brewster Road woman found a similar bird on her front lawn and sent in this photo.

Perhaps the turkey confused the holidays and thought it was Thanksgiving rather than Easter?
