CONCORD -- The N.H. Fish and Game Department reminds wildlife watchers to report sightings of winter wild turkey flocks at the department's online survey at http://www.wildnh.com/turkeysurvey. Turkeys often gather in large, highly visible flocks during the winter. Report any turkeys observed through March 31. Please do not report multiple sightings of the same flock.

The winter flock survey bolsters Fish and Game's understanding of the abundance and distribution of turkeys during New Hampshire's challenging winter months. It helps fill in the gaps in Fish and Game's existing winter flock data collection efforts. Knowledge of the status of wintering turkeys is particularly important in New Hampshire, because severe winter weather and limited natural food supplies can present serious challenges for wild turkeys.
