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.

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

Turlach MacDonagh spotted this walking Butterball in the yard of the St. Clement Eucharistic Shrine on Boylston Street today.

Paul Myers tweets the bird almost became scattered gizzards this morning:

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.

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.

MBTA General Manager Richard Davey snapped this photo of a turkey at Alewife today.

Suggested revenue enhancement for the T: Set up one car on each train as a mobile zoo. They've already got a turkey and a snake.

David Guarino came up with that title for his photo of a turkey outside the Wonderland T stop this morning (did it have a meeting downtown?).
