Virus Infected Turkeys

Just got off the phone with my stepdad and he said that today he seen a gobbler standing in the middle of a back road and it didn't hear or see his truck get about 5 feet away. He stopped and got out and said that he couldn't see its eyes because its whole head and neck was covered in huge growths/tumors. Googled diseases and wild turkeys in NY and the below link s what I found.
My question is, Has anyone else seen this (especially in NY) and even though the article says that we shouldn't be concerned, should we be?
