Wild turkeys are the state game bird of Massachusetts.
Last year, there were three adults. This year, I've only see this mama with her six turkinos. They hang out in the fenced in lawn on one of the colleges. They have stopped traffic crossing the road, as the Canada geese do. By the way, I've seen only a few goslings this year, so far...
