Wild Turkeys, March 17, 2021

Wild Bird Wednesday and My Corner of the World

Click on the photos to see them at their best.

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, March 11, 2021
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!

  2. There must be a hunting season. They are quite big.

  3. I'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!

  7. Turkeys are fun to see. They rarely let me get close though.

  9. I see wild turkeys a lot when we are out driving back roads. I did not know they could swim.
