This one from the Easter front page of the online Echo: Banff gets the odd moose, Churchill gets polar bears, Tokyo gets all sorts of kai-ju, and Wiarton? Wiarton gets monster wild turkeys! I knew all this talk of nuclear waste storage was going to get us into trouble ...

"John F. Lirpa of Georgian Bluffs stopped his truck to watch the bird and said he has had many coming to his bird feeders over the years but never one of this size. 'He could feed a hockey team,' said Lirpa. There were also reports that town workmen have been bothered by a large turkey roosting at the water tower north of town where it had made a real mess. Nobody was brave enough to put a tape on the Sunday stroller, but it was estimated he was over 4 ft. tall and would weigh over 100 lbs.
