MARYLAND - The Department of Natural Resources released online survey forms to tracking wild turkey populations this summer.

Officials are encouraging Marylanders to report wild turkey sightings between July 1 and Aug. 31. The primary purpose of the survey is to estimate reproductive success, but officials say other important information is obtained from the data.
