Wild Turkey



Wild Turkey at Mesa Verde.
Benjamin Franklin would have preferred to have the "wild turkey"to be the national symbol of the Untied States.

The "wild turkey" usually get around by walking or running.  They roost  overnight in tall trees.
There are only 2 species, The North American or the Ocellated Turkey of Central America.

They live in the woods , mountains,forest or wooded swamps.  They eat in the morning or evenings.  The he usually lays 10 to 15 eggs.    It takes them several months to be fully growen.
