Continuing Adventures Of Rosie The Roosevelt Island Turkey - Saturday Night Dip In Blackwell Park Water Fountain, Dodging Street Traffic And Exploring Main Street Retail

Spotted Rosie the Turkey roaming Roosevelt Island this evening near the Blackwell Park Water Fountain and crossing Main Street.

Rosie had a close encounter with oncoming Main Street traffic and the Red Bus tonight but was protected by a concerned resident who helped her safely cross the street.

No one knows how the wild turkey Astoria got to NYC, which is a long way from wild turkey populations. After spending time roaming the City--including Queens, where she got her name--she took flight across the East River to Roosevelt Island in May. https://t.co/HEDiRVt6m5
