On the corner of North Front and Laughlin Rd. Turkeys were pretty plentiful here a few years ago until they cut out most of the eucalyptus. There were at least 26, a few flew off as I drove by.

The population of wild turkeys throughout the Bay Area is exploding, overpopulation lends to disease & poor health.

The DFG allowed for a ‘Depredation’ take of turkeys at a country club in San Ramon recently. I feel the birds should be re-located into public accesible hunting / wildlife areas perhaps. Removing some of these birds would ultimately provide a stronger flock.
