sin_agua for drawing my attention to this photo from Time Magazine online.
This is less than a mile from where I live (where I've seen wild turkeys 3 times in 6 years) in a very busy commercial area. Take a look at this map to see about where the Time picture was taken (click the hybrid view to get a better idea of the kind of habitat available). I assume the turkeys mostly live in The Riverway, but there are a few islands of wooded habitat that they can make use of; they just have to cross trolley tracks and highways to do it. The Time photographer was fortunate (and maybe up early?) to get the shot s/he did. For another perspective, get directions from the first map link to 4 Yawkey Way, Boston.
