people describe that the wild turkeys are terrorizing their neighborhood. is that a fair description. >> it's fair, but it's important to remember that they're constantly moving. so unlike some other animals that could be problems, they're not going to camp out over days in your yard. most likely healthy turkeys will constantly be on the move because they're seeking mates or seeking food. >> what other kind of wild animals are we seeing pop up in places they haven't been historically? >> i think one of the most inspiring stories have been the raptors in the sky, birds of prey. they were completely east of the mississippi decades ago. and yet we now have falcons at city hall in downtown philly. they've done that for a number of years now in a row. they also nest in some of the bridges between pennsylvania and new jersey. when you think about them coming back the way they have, in large part that was ddt, a chemical often used in u.s. agriculture had wiped out generations of falcons, bald eagles, ospreys and other birds of prey by weakening their eggshells. o
