Description
I spotted this handsome group of Wild Turkeys on a drive between the Niagara Escarpment and Lake Ontario. North America’s turkeys almost went extinct in 1930 from loss of forest habitat and over hunting. Recovery efforts, including those by NWF and the Wild Turkey Federation, have been successful over the past 80 years and there are now an estimated 7 million wild turkeys in North and Central America.
As you celebrate Thanksgiving this year and have either turkey or even tofurkey (for non meat eaters), reflect on the rich traditions and interesting attributes of turkeys, their interactions with people, efforts to save them and keep an eye peeled for wattle and snood.
