Counting Turkeys In The Nutmeg State
Seeing turkeys around the tri-town area is a usual occurrence. The CT Wildlife Division invites residents to count the turkeys for a survey.
ESSEX, CHESTER, DEEP RIVER, CT — The Wildlife Division invites Connecticut residents to participate in the annual Wild Turkey Brood Survey from June 1 to August 31, 2021. During this time, volunteers record all of the hens and poults (young turkeys) observed during their normal travel. Observations of male (tom) turkeys are not requested for this survey. Results from this survey allow biologists to determine turkey productivity and reproductive success by estimating the average number of turkey poults per hen statewide. Your help is greatly appreciated! This year, surveys can be submitted at https://survey123.arcgis.com/.../9e04ae87327644f3aec01266...
