Turkey. Grass. Sidewalk.
Somebody who apparently does not live in a Boston neighborhood in which turkeys normally flock has filed a 311 complaint about the "loose" turkey that's been hanging out on the Common - a couple days after somebody filed a 311 complaint about a turkey in the Public Garden (maybe the same turkey, if it's learned how to cross Charles).

Pass reports from the area of Beech Street and Alpheus Road on Roslindale's Grew Hill that this morning he and his wife looked out into their backyard this morning and spotted a foraging deer - not something that particular area is known for (down the hill at the George Wright Golf Course or Sherrin Woods, sure): Read more.

Hugmajesty spotted our rare fly-in brown booby hanging out near Carson Beach with one of the local cormorants, in sharp contrast to yesterday's attempt by some of the meaner gulls to chase it off. Also note its feet are yellowish - you're thinking of blue-footed boobies, which are a different species altogether, one found in the eastern Pacific.
