Otis was first seen on my dad's lot (2640 S. Frontage Rd.) right before demolition started of the old Bonanza steak house. My dad built his office on the lot after the demolition, which scared Otis next door to Bancorp South where we fed him corn for several weeks. He then moved to the woods behind KFC where he currently resides. I emailed you a picture I took of him about a year ago in front of the bank.Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00582052944742353528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3809056835301186628.post-7186480126867111492009-09-22T14:23:04.492-05:002009-09-22T14:23:04.492-05:00Thanks for letting me use one of your pics for my ...Thanks for letting me use one of your pics for my blog site today.

And just the look on the biddy's face---is it possible that Otis is a hen? Just something about the duller feathers and the rounded profile rather than that strutting rooster-shape seems to be a little bit matronly.RachelDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11204947567574886675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3809056835301186628.post-23281847430433501052009-09-22T08:49:50.027-05:002009-09-22T08:49:50.027-05:00Looks like KFC has got itself a bona-fide mascot.:...Looks like KFC has got itself a bona-fide mascot.:)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17653167953996361152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3809056835301186628.post-27008549531968056982009-09-22T08:14:24.375-05:002009-09-22T08:14:24.375-05:00Only in the South!
