Took a double take driving home from work late yesterday afternoon....... Construction project on I494 through the Bloomington/Edina/Richfield corridor has turned odd pieces of former marshland into a landscape resembling WWI "no man's land." No spot worse than the bit in Bloomington bounded by E. Bush Lake Road and 82nd St. (near Normandale Lake) -- ravaged earth. Yet, there in the midst of that barren mess I spotted 12+ turkeys merrily doing their turkey thing (scratching for gravel?). Tough birds.
