wild turkeys in New Brunswick

with one comment


As we came back from our drive in Charlotte County last weekend, we were on the lookout for wild life. And we were not disappointed.

Down an unused road we saw twelve wild turkeys. Most, perhaps all, were females. In recent years we have seen wild turkeys more often on our various drives.

They are fun to watch. They are quite social. Some were foraging, probably eating seeds, berries or insects; others were resting among the pink rabbit-foot clover.

The University of New Brunswick is asking people to report the wild turkeys they see. The study will help determine the status of populations in New Brunswick.  Report sightings to the Facebook Page NB Wild Turkey Research

All my best,

  1. Around here, it has become common in recent years to see wild turkeys – even in suburban areas.
