Pinky the Turkey

A wild turkey who has roamed around with an arrow lodged in his back for more than six weeks, was captured yesterday and taken to IBRRC (International Bird Rescue Research Center) where Shannon works..

Hit the Play button on the movie below to see Shannon in action:

Skewered turkey finally rescued (news article link) ... The fact that the media has given the wild turkey a name is more than a little annoying to Shannon .. and that the name is Pinky, well .. that's just icing on the cake.

AND they made it sound like her team gave it that name. Stupid media.

Way cool that you were on TV again - especially for helping another animal.

Interesting story...guess "Pinky" is the media going too creative but then what else is new?

Good shots of Shannon.....she must have a pretty low impressionm of lots of folks

Hope your travels are safe. What about that Denver abort take off?

Gerry has about 30 people attending his lectures and 10 tables of play and a bonus...the people are all neat interesting folks from all over. We are enjoying.

YES keep Bora Bora on your list...looked like your kind of place and you can take plane shuttles or catamarand between the Islands...also a Ferry
