Or a woodchuck. Nevertheless be alert!! Thanks to Tom for sending at 9:01am.

And continue to keep an eye out for the majestic/massive Turkey(s) – she could be anywhere at this point and it’s not clear how her demeanor will change with the drizzle.

The Turkey Has Reached Adams Morgan, Repeat, The Giant Turkey is in AdMo

By Prince Of Petworth

Thanks to deenagee for sending the update this morning. First spotted on 14th Street then later we had reports from 16th Street – clearly we’ve got a pattern. OK, until we see a rafter of them I think we are safe. Keep in mind, if you don’t bother the giant Turkey, the giant Turkey won’t bother you. Having said that for the safety of your pets, I’d have them on a short leash just in case s/he’s super hungry. Be safe all.

What?!? You’ve Never Seen a Giant Turkey Walking on 14th Street Before?

By Prince Of Petworth

Ed. Note: I’ll make this preface once today – April 1st is not a recognized holiday on PoPville – all posts are like any other day – just our regular dose of insanity/awesomeness, no pranks needed.

Thanks to Nima for sending:

“Any reason as to why there is a giant wild turkey/bird/peacock walking around 14th street this morning?”

By Prince Of Petworth

Holy smokes, we’ve seen some monster catfish but never a striped bass like this. Props to Connor for the catch and thanks to Department of Energy & Environment for sharing.
