Apologies to all for this late post, but on my way to catch the LIRR in Cedarhurst, NY yesterday morning around 8:20 AM, I encountered a female wild turkey darting in and out of traffic on Washington Ave. about a half block from the train station. Wild turkeys aren't so unusual, but the location certainly was. This is southwest Nassau County, Long Island, just SE of JFK airport on the border with Queens. I am curious as to whether turkeys have been seen on the South Shore - I've been here since 1997 and never seen one here, let alone wandering the sidewalks and lawns of suburbia. Unfortunately I couldn't stay to make sure the bird was ok but I have cell phone pics to record the encounter. Cindy WodinskyCedarhurst, NY --
