[Peace-discuss] Re: Esther

Did they take the turkey to the Wildlife Clinic to see if it had bite 
marks on it anywhere?

I had 4 of the wild turkeys in my backyard one day.  I didn't corner 
them but I did walk around them and take some
pictures.  I found them relatively non-threatening.  I am not sure if I 
walked around Esther Patt with a camera at similar
angles that the outcome would be as favourable.
