Turkeys Proliferate Across Fairfield Area
Fairfield reports a sharp rise in wild turkeys over about 15 years. Adults reach 15 to 25 pounds, with sightings around the animal shelter, the dump on One Red Highway, and Fairfield University. University officials note campus flocks growing from about a dozen to potentially 40 or 50, due to abundant food and suitable habitat.
