I looked out into my backyard tonite at 7:30pm only to discover a male Wild Turkey wandering around. It eventually flew back and forth between my yard and a few of the neighbours yards as it grazed from time to time on the lawns in each yard.
This is kind of a strange bird to see here as there are no fields or extensive wooded areas to call home in the area and my house backs onto the busy 401. Who knows where it came from? It was last seen around 8:45pm towards the Midland Rd end of Marilake Drive. For those remotely interested, Marilake Drive is a horseshoe shaped road which runs east-west between Midland and Brimely Rd just north of the 401 in Scarborough (Toronto). Good luck for those who venture out.
