Eye on UMSL turkey strut

Just before evening classes got underway at UMSL on April 4, a pair of wild turkeys paid a visit to North Campus. They appeared to enjoy the mild weather and the green space in front of the Thomas Jefferson Library alongside fellow scholars.

For more images of the feathered set and speculation as to their thoughts during their stay on campus, see the Turkeys Choose UMSL album on Facebook.

The photographs were taken by UMSL photographer August Jennewein, and this one is the latest to be featured in Eye on UMSL.
