Kathi Rock asked: "How common are wild turkeys in urban areas?"
There are Wild Turkeys in urban Milwaukee. Here's a photo I took of one almost
exactly a year ago:

And there was an article about Milwaukee urban turkeys in the Journal-Sentinel
at Thanksgiving:

Subject: [wisb] Wild Turkey in Near West Side Madison Yard
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?
