After an initial flurry of sightings, the mentions on NextDoor stopped on April 6th.
Posts from residents on the other side of Highway 101 indicated that wild turkeys were common in their towns, and it was likely that "Tom" (the beard is a giveaway that it's a male, and I'll use the male singular pronoun until he tells me different) had wandered from his flock.
By the way, NextDoor posters who did call him "Tom" were scolded for nicknaming a wild animal, which just goes to show in the Internet age that everything that people do or say is fodder for criticism.
We'll probably never know what happened to Tom, but I hope he's okay.
