Wild Turkey on Lower Broadway

I was down in Lower Manhattan on Sunday morning shooting for my new Web site NYCPhotoNews.com. After shooting the tourists at the Charging Bull statue (the second most photographed monument in NYC) I headed towards the entrance to Battery Park at Bowling Green Station.

Before I could enter the park a Wild Turkey came strolling down the sidewalk past me and headed up Broadway.

Needless to say I had to follow and for the next hour I photographed the turkey and his admirers including the guy in the photo who tried the catch the bird.

The bird was too fast and continued his stroll up Lower Broadway until he reached the Trinity Church cemetery. Where he seemed content to relax among the gravestones.

After twenty minutes or so I left the Wild Turkey and headed for the Greek Independence Day Parade to cover it for nycphotonews.com
