They're ba-a-a-a-ck!
The office turkeys have returned from wherever they were summering, and are wandering around eating acorns from the parking lot. They seem to grace us with their presence in spring and fall, and spend the rest of the year elsewhere. It's hard to imagine them doing any serious migration, but they do disappear.
Somebody somewhere probably knows, but I haven't seen anything on the subject. And I'm not so curious as to wrestle one to the ground and attach a radio collar. (Even assuming I had a radio collar, which I don't.)
There haven't been nearly as many geese around since the turkeys arrived a year or so ago. I don't know if that's coincidence or a deep antipathy between the two. The geese are less creepy in appearance, but they crap absolutely everywhere. I see very little turkey dung on the pavement.
Does a wild turkey shit in the woods?
