June,

I have had a report this spring of a Wild Turkey at a wooded backyard
close to Wesley Woods. These ground-nesters evidently don't breed in the
interior of the metro Atlanta area, even in fairly wooded places. They
are, however, found at several locations some distance out and can
sometimes be very elusive. Rick West advised me that these birds can move
long distances, which makes one wonder where your bird originated.

Best regards
