Wild turkeys survive Huron County winter WINGHAM - During the pest winter, a total of 25 wild ttnteys wore released in northern Huron County as part of a pint reintroduc- tion program by the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) and the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters. A native species of Ontario, the wild turkey disappeared from the province in the early 1900s. Similar declines occurred throughout the northern United States. fiarly at- tempts to repopulate suitable' habi- tat with game farm -produced birds were almost totally unsuccessful. Subsequent trap and transfer pro- grams with wild birds have created one of the most successful wildlife management stories in conservation history. The birds released in Huron County were captured in central Ontario by shooting -rocket- propelled nets over birds attracted to baited trapping sites. These birds were the progeny of wild turkeys originating in Missouri, Iowa, New York and Vermont. In total, five groups of birds were captured and released between December 30, 1991, and March 25, 1992. Six hens and five toms were released at one site, while six hens and eight toms were released at a second site. Hens weighed an average of 10 lbs, while the average weight of toms was 15 lbs. The largest bird weighed 19.3 lbs. Adult male turkeys are usually about twice the size of hens, are darker in colour, and are character- ized by spurs on the lower part of the leg and a beard which may be up to 10-12 inches in length. The beard is a long bristle -like feather protruding from the centre of the breast. The head of a male becomes bulb, red and white during the breeding season. Hens occasionally have small beards, are duller in ap- pearance 'than the toms, and do not have spurs. Wild turkeys nest in the spring from late -April until May or June. The young poults can' fly within two weeks of hatching, .at which time they begin roosting in trees at night. Biologists, using, radiotrack- ing equipment, have found that 2 out of 3 adult birds will die each year from predators, severe weath- er, and other factors. In spite of this, a brood of up to 12 young enables the species to increase their num- bers very rapidly, if suitable habitat exists. Since the birds were released, their activities have been monitored by two techniques. The fust is through reports of sightings by local residents, either by phone or by sub- mitting mail -in report cards; and the second is through gobbling surveys conducted in the early morning hours a host of volunteers. These sources of information have been extremely valuable it; determining the survival of the birds, and their dispersal to new areas. Several birds have already been reported in new locations over 5 miles from the original release site. Annual move- ments of 12-15 miles are not un- common with this species. In addition, these surveys have identified a number of free -ranging game farm birds. Although well in- tentioned, persons releasing game farm birds actually threaten the suc- cess of the reintroduction program, since game farm birds may inter- breed with the truly wild birds and potluoe inferior offspring. For this ilWRm, it is illegal for anyone to possess a domesticated wild turkey without a licence, or to release one of these birds into the wild. Any. type of bronze or black -coloured turkey is considered a wild turkey, even if totally domesticated. Wild turkeys are commonly con- sidered to be warier than any other woodland creature. Hunter success rates are usually about 10-15%, or about 1/2 to 1/3 as successful as .Stephen Township Registration for Swimming Lessons June 10 6 - 8:30 p.m. at McCurdy Public School, Huron Park Playoff Cbarnpls ler the Lucan C.A.W. bowling league were presented with :awards at Saturday's banquet.
