We had a female wild turkey spend about four hours in our near west side 
Madison yard today.  I put leftover pet food out in the morning for crows and 
other critters and the turkey really seemed to enjoy it and was fighting with 
the crows over the food.  Then it spent several more hours eating food on the 
ground underneath our standing bird feeder and foraging for food in other parts 
of our yard. 
 
How common are wild turkeys in urban areas?
