I have a dog walking client just north of Kingston Road, off Chine Drive. Last week, when we had a dusting of snow, I noticed huge bird footprints on the driveway, assumed they were crows, and forgot about them.
Today, I went to let the dog out and what do I see but a wild turkey! It was walking between my client's house and the neighbour's. I sent him an email (the client, not the turkey) and asked if he'd seen it before and he said it's been in the area for about 6 months. I didn't want the dog to annoy it, he's a 4 month old Lab puppy and is in the "interested in everything" stage, so I went to the window in the back room to take a look. The turkey was in the backyard. I finally took the puppy to the front yard and he peed quickly, and was dragged back into the house even quicker. Last I saw, the turkey was between the next two houses.
This is the first one I've seen in Scarborough. We see them often in Cranberry Marsh, so this took me by surprise.
