They were reintroduced into Connecticut, IIRC about 20 years ago and
they're now more common than a lot of species that never disappeared,
it's kind of weird watching them troop across suburban yards.
They especially seem to love suburban areas with fairly high human
population densities but still a lot of woods.
The two "acre", (builders, which isn't actually as big as a "real"
acre), lot left mostly wooded with a cleared area for a house on it,
makes for good turkey habitat, which also makes for good deer habitat,
(there's also been an explosion in the deer population here in the last
15 years).
There's no generally no hunting, and most natural predators are scarce,
domestic cats and even fairly large dogs are pretty wary of poults when
protected by a big hen.
So wild turkeys like where people live even if they don't actually like
people.

Well, I hope you soon have a population explosion like our urban

Thanks Alan
While they appear to be making a comeback in Michigan, that's the
first one
I've ever seen in my yard.

Very smart, Ken. Quite well camouflaged. Nice to have them in your
garden.
