Only in West Milford-The whup-whup of Officer Eric Darnsteadt’s siren did little but gain a few gobble-gobbles and some feather rustling as these cheeky turkeys chose to defy the law and stayed right in front of the patrol car. This all happened on Van Orden Road last week. “Only in West Milford,” said Darnsteadt as he waited patiently for the turkeys to move out of the way. Photo by Ginny Raue
