Went out today during the noon hour to try to find the Milwaukee urban Wild 
Turkey. Found it right away, only a block away from where Sharon S had 
photographed it 4-5 hours earlier. The bird must like this area. :-)

* Not the best of photos...heavy overcast was letting very little light 
through, but here's the turkey on Webster, between Prospect and Farwell, about 
2-3 blocks north of Whole Foods:

* This is not your typical Wild Turkey habitat. Fairly high human population 
density, mostly apartment buildings with little green space:

- Turkey was seen here on this block early in the AM:

- Then seen on this block during the noon hour:

* And, for what it's worth, here's a turkey footprint in the snow in an 
apartment building driveway:
