A small flock of turkeys showed up yesterday (9/23/2018) on my property. It is not unusual to see turkeys up here but this is a bit early for them to make their appearance so I was a bit surprised. Typically they show up around the end of November and will stay around until Spring. They can be quite prolific at producing young ones and can become a problem for some people in more densely populated neighborhoods. When this happens some are rounded up by the state wildlife agency and relocated to other areas of Utah and Idaho. I like seeing them come around but they can be quite messy...leaving their droppings everywhere....and tend to eat everything in sight, including food I put out for the smaller birds and deer.
