Last year it was a flock of exactly 13 turkeys. This year the number is closer to 80.
There's a flock of more than 200 that is causing problems at a retirement development about 15 miles north of here (they aren't the prodigious ****ters that the Canadian geese are but they eat flowers which pisses off landscapers and they aren't particularly bothered by cars so frequently stop traffic by just standing in the middle of the road). They aren't uncommon but apparently have had a population boom in recent years.
They roost in several of the taller trees around our complex so we're often "treated" to their morning chatter and clatter. It's kind of cool to go out in around dawn on a winter day (so the leaves are off the trees) and look up at a tree and realize that all of the lumps way up there are turkeys. Since most people apparently learned all of their zoology from WKRP most people are surprised to earn that turkeys can fly when they want to (wild, that is; domesticated can barely walk).
So yes, I see turkeys several times a day, every day. |
