I have had a similar experience w/ turkeys this year in Kingston and Oak Ridge. Heard some clucking in my woods this spring, then nothing until this fall. In previous years I frequently saw turkeys on my way to Oak Ridge on Rt. 95 at K-25 Site, but this year has been a turkey drought. Finally saw a tom and 4 hens 2 weeks ago.

Although, I know this is not an unusual species, it has been over a year since I've seen a flock of turkeys here on the school property. Last summer/fall there was construction on a new building. All during that construction and until today, I did not see any groups of turkeys. In fact, it is only in the last few months that I've even seen single turkeys.
