Wild Turkeys,
Meleagris gallopavo, are large game birds native to North America.
They are ground foragers, eating acorns, seeds, berries, and small insects. When startled they run or fly, and they can swim if necessary.
Have a wonderful day!

And this is one species that has done well, and bucks the trend of huge declines in many populations.
ReplyDeleteThere must be a hunting season. They are quite big.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen one but had heard there was one in the neighbourhood a couple of summers ago. I was never able to track it down!
ReplyDeleteStrutting around like they own the place.
ReplyDeleteHello,

Turkeys are fun to see. They rarely let me get close though.
ReplyDeleteWe also have wild turkeys, but they are seldom seen.
ReplyDeleteI see wild turkeys a lot when we are out driving back roads. I did not know they could swim.
ReplyDeleteThank you for being a part of 'My Corner of the World' this week!
