Description
Neighborhood Wild Turkey 16 x 9 format by Debra Martz For the last several years, around the beginning of fall, wild turkeys show up for a while on my parents' street in Enid, Oklahoma. I was there visiting when this lone straggler arrived one day....the others had been gone for almost a week.
Info from www.outdoornews.com "A hen’s head is typically dull gray or blue in color. Males’
heads can appear bright blue, red, or white, depending on their
level of excitement. In spring, a male’s head is generally bright
red. When he’s in full strut, the top of his head turns white. When
a strutting male walks toward you, his head looks like a softball
against his fanned-out tail."
Scientific Name: Meleagris gallopavo
ORDER: GALLIFORMES
