THE WEST SEATTLE TURKEY: Still wandering Gatewood on this #TurkeyTuesday

A #TurkeyTuesday full of more sightings of The West Seattle Turkey in Gatewood, where it has been since at least Friday. Today started with this video – listen closely to hear The Turkey, as well as Ben’s narration, from near the Thistle stairway:

A bit later, Tanya sent this photo from 39th/Kenyon:

Please be watchful if you’re driving – The Turkey likes to walk in the street, as seen in Dave‘s photo from 39th/Austin:

That’s also where Jessica got this picturesque view also featuring blossoms:

Susan and Jerry got a backyard visit:

From Leslie near 35th/Webster

And this one came in last night but we can’t resist the Napping Turkey … from Mike near 44th and Southern:

If you’re new here – readers have been reporting turkey sightings since tt first showed up (in Arbor Heights) 11 months ago.

    TWST is clearly a hen, not a cock. She lacks a beard and spurs. 

    Her present wandering far from her usual area may be to find a mate.

    Love the napping turkey.  Sweet dreams, darlin’.  Stay safe.

    Appreciate the turkey maintains and exemplifies distance recommendations during our pandemic.

    My coworker that lives closer to Gatewood said that there is a neighborhood blog there and people are asking if someone has lost their turkey.  Yes! That’s the Admiral Turkey! They belong here! Just kidding, the TWST can go where they like .

    Can someone please find a Lonesome Larry to introduce to this fine lady?

    Stay safe, WST. Seeing your pictures brings me great joy.

    this turkey seems to be living a pretty good life for itself! must feel pretty secure and not threatened to be napping on someone’s porch…

  • Steph March 25, 2020 (9:57 am)

    It just came to our house!!! Near Myrtle water towers. Great distraction during this crazy time.

    So can we use the acronym and call her Twist.

  • Railroaded March 25, 2020 (11:31 am)

    The shot of the turkey napping is great!

  • SeaChasbo March 25, 2020 (2:26 pm)

    Just makes me want to drink bourbon while ordered to stay-at-home.

    Have been sharing WST updates w/family in Tassie – they love it! We experience  similar behavior with peacocks. We only have “bush turkeys” on the mainland.

Sorry, comment time is over.
