Display Displaying Displays Plumage Tail Tails Turkey Turkeys

EDITORS COMMENTS
Talk about a tail feather extravaganza! This male Wild Turkey is putting on quite the show in New York. With its vibrant plumage and impressive display, it's no wonder this bird is considered the largest gamebird in North America. And let's not forget about those magnificent tails – they're definitely stealing the spotlight! These turkeys are true social butterflies, often found strutting their stuff in flocks of up to 60 birds. But when it comes to attracting a mate during springtime displays, it's all about that gobble. Picture this: a descending gobble echoing through the open forest as Mr. Turkey shows off his finest moves. While foraging mostly on the ground for seeds, nuts, acorns, and insects, these feathery friends also know how to enjoy some tree time. They roost high above in trees at night – talk about living life on the wild side! But don't be fooled by appearances; females and immatures may be smaller and duller than their flashy male counterparts but they still hold their own charm. So next time you spot one of these charismatic creatures wandering around North America or Mexico (thanks to reintroduction efforts), take a moment to appreciate nature's grandeur captured beautifully by John Cancalosi.
