Good gravy: Turkeys stuffing themselves into every last corner everywhere
Reports are coming in from pretty much everywhere: Turkeys in the Boston area are on the move. To where, exactly, cannot yet be said, but drivers and pedestrians alike need to step lively, or slow down, as the case may be.
Andrew Bauer shows us why our roads no longer just need bike lanes; these days they need turkey lanes - like on Beacon Street near the stairs to Yawkey Station.
But wait, there's more:

Jessica Kent, meanwhile, asked this morning:

She reports tonight:
I got a report that he is alive and well, and back in the Square!

I came across 18 on my
run last Saturday (Neponset Valley Parkway). Pretty calm, they let me pass without any nipping. Neat to see one male displaying (never saw that before).
Nobody in Boston should be
Hungry. Just add gravy.
real talk
the best way to handle coming across turkeys in the road in your car is to just keep going normally
they will get out of your way
source: family farm has 2 flocks of wild turkeys that reside there. they can fly when they need to. slowing down only prolongs the process.
