The Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife is looking for the public's assistance in counting the wild turkeys in the Bay State during the summer.
The survey will take place from June 1 to August 31, MassWildlife said.
Reports are welcome from any area of Massachusetts, no matter how populated they are.
You can contribute to the survey by reporting sightings of hens (female turkeys), poults (newly-hatched turkeys), jakes (juvenile males), and toms (adult males).

The reports help biologists determine productivity, compare long-term reproductive success, and estimate fall harvest potential.
