Wild Turkey

A relatively new resident in eastern Ontario is the wild turkey. Nearly wiped out by the early 1900s, except for its domesticated cousin, recent conservation efforts have been wildly successful, and it has not only reclaimed most of its original range but moved into areas where it was not previously known, such as around Ottawa. Turkeys congregate on the ground in flocks as large as 200, especially in the winter. In spring, males make their distinctive blue-faced, fan-tailed mating display. Bow hunting is permitted in season, from late April to early May.
