Happy Thanksgiving!!

Wild Turkeys Flocking In City
AP, November 26

Alex Calota saw the turkey about five months ago, strutting near his hot dog cart at Riverside Park. Instead of considering the critter for Thanksgiving dinner, Calota dubbed the bird "Giuliani" and began feeding it.

Calota, 50, of Queens, who has been selling hot dogs in Riverside Park for a decade, says Giuliani weighs just over 20 pounds. He had a friend, Calota said, but "the other one don't come any more."

Calota feeds the bird every day he sees him. And he named the bird after former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani because "I respect him" -- the mayor, not the turkey."
