BREAKING NEWS!
While preparing to
eat dinner tonight two wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) came to join Lynne
and Bob Davis (Homo sapiens). Perhaps the largest birdfeeder birds you’ll attract to your yard, they lack the pazazz of a goldfinch,
still they were a treat to watch.
It has only been a
decade or so since wild turkeys simply were hard to find in Tennessee but recovery
efforts led by TWRA and US Fish & Wildlife have brought them back.
I write about the colorful transatlantic history of wild turkeys and why they are even called "turkeys" in my first UT Press book Natural Histories.
Thanks, Lynne!
