Description
The Wild Turkey was a very important food animal to Native Americans, but it was eliminated from much of its range by the early 1900s. Introduction programs have successfully established it in most of its original range, and even into areas where it never occurred before.
Cool Facts
# A native of North America, the turkey is one of only two domesticated birds originating in the New World. The Muscovy Duck is the other.
# The male Wild Turkey provides no parental care. When the eggs hatch, the chicks follow the female. She feeds them for a few days, but they quickly learn to feed themselves. Several hens and their broods may join up into bands of more than 30 birds. Winter groups have been seen to exceed 200.
Gull

Seals are not the only animals at Donna Nook. There were quite a few birds – most were way out of camera reach and unidentifiable by me, though.
This is some kind of sub-mature gull – one of the black-backeds? As you can see, I don’t really know much at all about birds, even when I can see them!
