Talking Turkey…
In my profession, I drive around quite a bit. I have never seen so many wild turkeys (and I’m not talking about the whiskey) ever before! I come across them sometimes in Newton and Brookline, but even those cases were relatively infrequent. This year has been a completely different story.
I’ve seen a rafter of more than 20 in Brookline, so far this year, a gang of around 10 in Milton, the same in Newton, then I across a small family in Hyde Park, wandering the streets. All of the neighbors came out to check them out as they wandered from yard to yard. I’ve had pictures sent to me of enormous numbers traipsing through neighborhoods.
I don’t know if their numbers are up and/or if their food supplies are down and they need to search further, but they certainly are fun to see in the city.
I just hope they have the sense to clear out before Thanksgiving!

I saw a rather large family of them in Randolph, right near the highway. They were actually were feeding about 10 feet from the road on the on-ramp. Probably about 6-7 of them. And they were pretty big!
