Turkeys
Where have all the turkeys gone? There were many in our neighborhood,and used to see them beside the roads as well. Haven’t seen a single turkey in a couple of months.

No turkeys?
Are you complaining? These are obnoxious birds along with the snow geese.

I see them all the time in Tuftonboro. I saw a group of about 10 the other day crossing 109. They looked quite healthy!!

How So?

Along with turkeys, in most areas, there are few birds feedings at bird feeders. According to several articles I have read, this is due to an abundance of natural foods in their habitat. I can hear birds in the woods surrounding our house, but we only see a scant few chickadees and nuthatches at the feeders, and no turkeys in the woods.
As nature takes it course, and snow covers the ground and food sources, I would anticipate that the birds well return to the feeders, and the turkeys will be on the move. Dave Sent from my SM-T580 using Winnipesaukee Forum mobile app |

During the inland season snow geese are often seen and hunted for in the many fields along the Connecticut river. The Merrimack river and its many corn fields in the Litchfield and Hudson area is also another place where snow geese are regularly hunted as well. You can see them flying over Winnipesaukee in large formations but I have rarely seen any land in the lake but I'm sure they have... Dan |
If not snow geese...
What are the pesky geese, for example in Hesky Park, Meredith, that many towns at trying to get rid of? Canadian?
