Well, I live in Whitby (just east of Toronto) down by the Lynde Marsh Conservation area (which opens into Lake Ontario). After a late night poker game at my buddy's place I ended up sleeping in until 2:00 PM :eek: and didn't go to the range as intended. So, instead, I went over to the conservation area and while driving down towards the lake what do I see?
Turkeys!
Lots of 'em! One obvious Tom and what appeared to be 5 hens, but could have been hens and jakes. All the fellow birders down there were talking about them.
Too bad I can't hunt there, since it's within walking distance!

Anybody else seeing turkeys near the big cities? I know they've been seen just north of here aplenty but this is a first down here for me.
 
every one i talk to swear turkey are every were...i do a lot of driving between barrie and bobgageon area,s.... and in the last two years i can say ive only saw them once...
even my own daughter claims i must be blind not to see them on any trip out her way in the barrie area:confused:

I've seen them driving through Vaughan - walking around an old corn field on the outskirts...also see them along the 401 out to Napanee. I spotted two just outside Peterborough on Thanksgiving a couple years back walking across someone's front lawn - suspect they ended up on the table later that day. :)
