Turkey babies in Kendall Square

Turkey babies

Jess Riley reports a turkey and her seven poults (that's babies to you) have taken up residence in front of 55 Broadway in Kendall Square. Kendall Square, you grizzled turkey veterans may recall, was home to Mr. Gobbles, back in the day when turkeys were still an unusual sight inside 128.

The turkeys take the hill

Dan Wilets reports this mini-gather was wandering around Mission Hill this morning (doing a strut of shame?).

Turkeys on the march: Gobbler struts downtown

Around 6:45 p.m, Alison Thompson reported a wild turkey making its way down Hawley Street downtown, right off Milk Street, just two blocks from Macy's.

About ten minutes later, AlertNewEngland and Liz O'Donnell reported the turkey made an appearance at South Station - where four BPD and Transit cops tried without success to corral the bird, which responded by flying away from them.

Officer Mike helps Mrs. Turkey cross the road

Mark Garfinkel captured the scene by Harvard Medical School yesterday as a Boston cop (whose real first name is Shawn) helped a rafter of turkeys cross the road. "Good gravy!" amazed bystanders no doubt exclaimed.

It was probably running away in horror at what it saw inside

AP reports seeing a wild turkey (yes, the bird kind, not the stuff in a bottle) in the parking lot of the Stop & Shop on Everett Street in Allston shortly before 5:30 p.m.

Workday ends on the Red Line much like it began

Dead train and signal problems mean the last refugees on the line before the T switched to buses got to enjoy 50 minutes staring at tunnel walls while their trains moved to the next stop. But there's an added bonus for commuters headed to Alewife: An angry turkey is now patrolling the garage.

Park Street photo that will remind you of Tokyo. Well, if Tokyo had trains that didn't run.

Tom Bruno did find one silver lining in it all: Despite an hour delay on the Red Line, he didn't miss his Rockport train at North Station - because it was late, too.
