Astoria the Turkey

Astoria near NYU

I have fallen in love with a wild turkey from Roosevelt island. Thanks to Manhattan Bird Alert, I’ve been able to follow her adventures for the last week as she navigates my childhood stomping grounds….

She flew across the river to Sutton Place before moving to Park Avenue and then Central Park. Here is a story from The New York Times about her

After initial attempts to net her, the NYPD and Animal Control have decided to let her be.
