Beaking news: Avian marauders roam the streets of Cambridge, Somerville, Forest Hills, oh my God, they're EVERYWHERE!

OK, so they're not (yet) clawing at the backs of terrorized residents, like those fowl beasts over in Brookline (oh, wait, scratch that - they've all been eaten by the coyotes), but wild turkeys are flocking to North Cambridge and Somerville:

A turkey just walked down the side walk on Mass Ave. in front of my office. ...

Comments to that post also note their presence in Watertown, Forest Hills and Forsyth Street at Northeastern:

... I moved out of the suburbs years ago, and I so do not appreciate being stalked by turkeys at the crack of dawn. ...

There's a well known wild turkey that lives on the Volpe Transportation grounds near Kendall Square named Mr Gobbles. He's quite a vain creature, and likes to preen himself in front of reflective glass at one of the nearby buildings.

I last saw Mr. Gobbles a couple of weeks ago. I wish I'd had my camera.

At least, back in 2003. When do we see one sauntering up Charles Street?
