My wife came across a posting on the Harvey Park neighborhood (SW Denver, Denver Co.) Facebook page from a couple of days ago with a picture of a young hen WILD TURKEY in someone’s yard, at least it certainly looked wild.  Then today (Mon., 29 Apr’24) we came across another (?) young hen in the Athmar Park neighborhood not far from Huston Park, and seeing her live saw no signs of domestication with classic and clean Wild Turkey plumage and the sleek build of a wild bird.  Presumably this same gal just showed up as a “Lost Turkey?” on our Athmar Park Facebook page at Aspgren Park (W Exposition & S Lipan) about a ½ mile from where we saw her/one; cropped photo from Facebook attached.  Has anyone else in the Denver urban core seen any turkeys this year?  Defnitely a strange one!

 

Gobble gobble,

There have been multiple reports, and photos, of turkeys in the Denver metro area on NextDoor. Many of the photos show a pair of turkeys. Same turkeys traveling a fair distance or multiple turkeys?

I saw one last year or the year before crossing Wadsworth just south of Yale to go into the greenbelt.
Lucky for her it was super early in the morning and no traffic.

Merlin has been telling me often that I have Wild Turkeys (Arapahoe County) but I've so far been treating it as one of Merlin's many jokes!  (Now maybe I'll look more carefully.)

There is a single bird that has been living in my neighborhood in Lowry(East Denver)  for over a year now. Still catches me by surprise every time! Definitely a surprising habitat and a high traffic area.

We have lived in Highlands Ranch for 8 years and had our first yard bird (number 95!) Wild Turkey on May 7th last year. We have a little riparian open space behind our house. Was probably a female of the western group. There is a photo on my eBird checklist.
