OLMSTED FALLS, Ohio -- A few years ago, cleveland.com wrote about a tom turkey – whom I called Tommy , naturally – that liked to come up to our window and look to see what was going on inside.

Well, there’s a new turkey in town (or at least in the back yard.) This one, I call her Mama.

She’s been here for several months -- all by herself. She moves between a couple of the condos in our neighborhood.

She eats the birdseed, and she will come when I call her. I feel bad for her, because she’s not with a pack. Maybe they kicked her out.

She will look in the windows, too, like Tommy did.

She needs a buddy.
