On January 4 a significant raft (must have been 30-50 birds) of American Turkeys were seen hanging around out by Alewives Brook Farm.
I also saw four Wild Turkeys along Bowery Beach Road.
In the last days of December around dusk, my wife, son and I were walking along the road down to the beach parking lot within Crescent Beach State Park when we accidently flushed a raft of 20 or so American Turkeys that had suddenly appeared out of the dense spruce understory.
We also have a Wild Turkey (hen) who visits our yard feeders twice daily.
After talking with the island’s super nice caretaker, I learned that there was in fact Wild Turkey(s) on the island and that it was only recently that she had seen them for the first time.
Later that same evening a Barred Owl call from the fringes of my property spooked three Wild Turkeys roosting high up in the thick limbs of an Oak Tree.
