Despite having never seen a wild turkey in person, my research conjured these images of the creature. I imagined the multitude of colors on the male turkey as he sought food in the wild. Pinyon pine is among the vegetation that serve as part of the turkey's diet. One of its many different calls has been described as a "cackle."

Post a CommentI've seen them on the sides of the highways looking for food. They are very different than the domesticated ones and they do fly.
That's odd...my mother left a comment, writing as me.
We actually have wild turkeys here on Long Island, NY. There was an article in the paper recently that said there are about 3000 wild turkeys here. They are even going to allow people to hunt them because they think there are too many! - Linda Pudalov
This is good. You've really never seen a wild turkey? One flew into the windshield of my car once. They're heavy enough to crack a windshield going 30. Great haiku.
