Savin Hill gobbler makes a house call
The ghost of Thanksgiving past came a knockin' on this Fox
Point Road door last Saturday morning. Savin Hill neighbor
Bill Walczak snapped this candid on his cellphone. Walczak
says the wild turkey is one of several who've taken up
residence in the neighborhood of late. Other wild turkeys
have been spotted in recent years along the Neponset River
and in Dorchester Park. The State House News Service
reported this week that a pair of turkeys were also spotted
this week strolling in the shadow of the state capitol's
golden dome. Photo courtesy Bill Walczak
