Wild Turkey






WILD TURKEY
Meleagris gallapavo 48-50
Wild turkeys range from the southern United States an along the eastern coast to New England. Males have irredecent feathers. Both sexes have naked heads that are vaguely blue.
I was looking for a nesting goose that I was told was in this field when this old girl flew up in front of me. She had five chicks that hid until she called them to her. She clucked her warning call from a few feet away and made herself menacing as you can see from the pictures.
