Urban Wildlife: Wild Turkey On The Morning Commute

 This whole summer I have been chronicling wild life in the city. I a native Clevelander but have never seen so many turkeys around in my life. Where I live, I am used to deer and ducks; but not turkeys. 




Last week Thursday during my morning commute, this wild turkey was up early at the stop light. Like he was going to get on the bus like a human!




I have posted my interaction as a YouTube short. Thus far, it has received over 400 views. My first turkey short received over 1700 views

Of course, I am keeping track of all of it because it is not every day that I come across a wild turkey. Better now versus November.

Urban Wildlife: Nature’s Ability to Heal and Restore

 This past Tuesday I walked past the old JFK high school location. The two-story building was razed and replaced with a small marsh and grass. There was a lot of ducks in the marsh and grass. To think that 5 years ago this decade that a building stood here; and, now there was all of this grass.  Check out these photos below.
