Wisconsin's Wild Turkeys

Once abundant in Wisconsin, turkeys disappeared from the state by the 1880’s.  It took nearly 100 years for the bird to seriously mount a recovery and today they can be found in every one of the 72 counties in Wisconsin.  As a Thanksgiving offering, Audubon’s guest speaker this month is Chris Pollentier from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. Chris will present an online, Covid-safe talk entitled: “Wisconsin’s Wild Turkey: From Demise to a Wildlife Success Story”.  His talk will highlight the ecology of the bird, its history of recovery in Wisconsin, and what the future looks like in terms of research and management.  Join us Wednesday, November 18 at 7:00 pm for the program, followed by a live question-and-answer session with Chris. The online program is free and open to the public.  Pre-register through our website at www.aldoleopoldaudubon.org/Programs  or Zoom Link: https://bit.ly/2PA9S3T.  Not sure if you can watch on your cell phone…
