The Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control is again counting on Delawareans to help with the state’s annual productivity survey for wild turkeys. Volunteers assist the DNREC Division of Fish and Wildlife by collecting information on the continuing distribution and reproductive success of the state’s turkey population, which enables wildlife biologists to efficiently monitor and continue tracking the wild turkey’s ultra-successful reintroduction to the state in the late 20th century.
The simple method, used by many states across the Northeast, asks survey volunteers, while going about their daily activities, to record and report sightings of turkeys during the survey period, which runs from July 1 through Aug. 31. Upon sighting turkeys, survey volunteers are to record the date, location and number of adult hens (females), gobblers (males) and poults (young of the year) that they have observed.
This year, for the first time, the DNREC Division of Fish and Wildlife will be using an online survey form that volunteers will find easier for recording wild turkey sightings. The survey form – found on the de.gov/turkeysurvey webpage – should be submitted by volunteers immediately after new turkey sightings.
