Unlikely wild turkey visits light up Aiken Southside
Aiken Public Safety reports a single adult female wild turkey seen roaming Southside for about a month. The bird has been spotted at Target Mallard Lake subdivision Centennial Park office park and Churchill Commons. Wildlife biologist Mark Hatfield says the turkey likely travels within a one mile range and poses no threat, with options like hoses or ribbons if residents prefer to deter it. Public Safety urges simply observing the bird and notes hunting is not allowed in the city.
