NATURE MONCTON FEBRUARY
MEETING
Tuesday February 15th,

Virtual Meeting
“New Brunswick’s Newest
Avian Immigrant: The Wild Turkey”
Presenter: Jim Wilson

Never in our history has a new bird discovered our province on foot – until
now. Slowly and quietly during the past two decades, hundreds of Wild Turkeys
eluded border officials and slipped into New Brunswick from Maine, where a
vibrant population of the birds is firmly established in all 16 counties. But
how does a bird of this size, a species that was never here historically, cope
with finding food in deep winter snow and cold, compete with native bird
species and evade potential new predators? Well, Wild Turkeys are doing just
that, and quite successfully. Our Wild Turkeys now number in the thousands.
This talk will explain how they do it.
