Field Notes
Description:
Group of 6 wild turkeys. I believe all of them are juvenile males. The feathers were really beautiful. This was the closest I have ever been to wild turkeys. I also took a video of them:

Habitat:
Suburban house yard, Sebastopol, CA.
Notes:
The Wild Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) is native to North America and is the heaviest member of the Galliformes. It is the same species as the domestic turkey, which derives from the South Mexican subspecies of wild turkey (not to be confused with the Meleagris ocellata native to the forests of the Yucatán Peninsula).
