Driving up by Ohlone College in Fremont today, I met one of the institution's students, a wild Turkey.
Update: That was one big bird. A good 20 pounder, maybe more. She was strutting at the edge of the the very large Mission Peak regional park, near an academic building at Ohlone College. The question we must now ask ourselves is, what does a turkey major in? My money's on business. Or maybe culinary arts, and her thesis will be a stuffed human with honey glaze.
