Wild Turkey on Boston Common, Massachusetts

During our first full day in Boston we completed the 2.5 mile Freedom Trail, and after dinner at the Quincy Market headed back to the hotel. Whilst walking through the eastern side of Boston Common in the fading light I noticed a large bird on the ground ahead and was surprised to realise that it was a Wild Turkey. I assumed it must be a domesticated bird, but its wings didn’t appear to be clipped, and it had no leg rings. Consequently, I concluded it was a wild bird. It was totally unexpected and the last species to be added to the Trip List.
