Turkey trot

This momma turkey trotted along the sidewalk on South Maple Avenue, in front of the Baptist Church in Millerton, on a July afternoon, long before the Thanksgiving season, with five of her baby chicks in tow. The plucky poultry have had plenty of time since the summer to find a safe haven, as Thursday, Nov. 26, is when they are best known for making their way onto dining room tables across the United States for Thanksgiving day feasts.
