It appears that wild turkeys in Minnesota and Arizona don't migrate far from their home area. from http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/young_naturalists/turkey/index.html Minnesota's wild turkey is a smart bird. It flies with a powerful beat of its wings. It sneaks through the woods with barely a sound. Today there are more wild turkeys in Minnesota than there have been in at least 100 years. Most live in southern Minnesota. Toms can weigh more than 20 pounds. Hens weigh 8 to 10 pounds. Even though turkeys are big, they can fly and escape great horned owls and other predators. Wild turkeys live in hardwood forests near farm fields. Turkeys feed on insects and young plants in the spring and summer. In the fall they eat lots of acorns and hickory nuts, called mast, so they can build up a layer of fat to help them survive winter's cold. "Turkeys do not migrate south for the winter." They can find winter food by going to farm fields and eating corn and grain leftover from the fall harvest. from http://www.floa.org/flora_fauna.htm Forest Lakes, Arizona is located in a Ponderosa Pine forest that stretches from the town of Williams east along the Mogollon Plateau into New Mexico. This is the largest Ponderosa Pine forest in North America. The largest bird of the Ponderosa Pine forest is the turkey. "While turkeys migrate to more temperate climes when snow and cold hit the pine type, they don't move very far, and can be found a couple thousand feet lower down in the Pinon-Pine type throughout the winter months."
Wild turkeys typically spend the night somewhere in the woods. These woods are usually along fields or other open spaces.
