They used to be very rare. Growing up near some woods, we almost never saw them. Pheasants? Yep, we saw them fairly often. Turkeys? Once a year or so.
The last 10 to 15 or so years they have made a very strong comeback. Now, they are to the point of being pests. They have things on the news about how to deal with them and such.
I'm glad they are coming back as it is a sign that the pollution that used to be pretty bad around here is finally dropping. But, they can be annoying.
