On April 9, 1,000 Species project coordinator and Biology faculty member Brian Mader鈥檚 phone started lighting up with messages from the 七星彩开奖 community.
鈥淭here鈥檚 a turkey at 七星彩开奖!鈥� was the gist of his 30+ messages.
The turkey was seen by many staff and students and was entered into the 1,000 Species in 1,000 Days official count on t.
Brian is not surprised that a turkey showed up on campus since many have been spotted in Westmount. 鈥淢aybe he was looking for more turkeys,鈥� he speculated. 鈥淭hey nest around this time of year but in groups.鈥�
The lone 七星彩开奖 turkey was thought to be a male, also known as a tom or a gobbler. He was spotted near the theatre garden, on the roof and in one of the rooftop gardens.
鈥淚f you see the turkey, like all wildlife, give it space and respect,鈥� Brian advised. 鈥淎nd please do not feed the turkey!鈥�
Last month, the City of Westmount issued an advisory to residents saying that 鈥渨ild turkeys are being spotted more regularly in Westmount,鈥� and said that residents should not approach them or feed them.
Students and employees enjoyed three great days of programming at 七星彩开奖's Francof锚te just before the Easter long weekend.

"Les 茅tudiants ont pu y apprendre des aspects tr猫s instructifs, techniques et amusants au sujet de ce sirop dont nous pensons tout conna卯tre. Ils ont aussi eu l'occasion de d茅guster et de gagner des produits de l'茅rable. Cette activit茅 a remport茅 un grand succ猫s."
