Description
Turkeys are a very large, small-headed, round-winged, long-tailed, ground-dwelling bird, with an unfeathered bluish head and reddish throat, dark breast, belly and upper back iridescent bronze, green wings, barred primaries, and a dark, fan-shaped tail with a brown or buff band at the tip. The adult male has a large head with wattle at throat, caruncled forehead, and projection behind the bill and more iridescent plumage. Clutch Size ranges from ~ 8 to 15 eggs, length of incubation ranges from ~ 27 to 28 days, number of days to fledge ranges from ~ 6 to 10, and average number of broods is 1, unless the nest is destroyed.
Wild Turkey usually nest in a shallow depression on the ground lined with leaves and gasses that is well concealed in thick shrugs or woodlands, and within ~ 1/4 mi of available water. At night, they roost in large trees, particularly cottonwood.
