Red Fox track image from: https://www.wildlifedecal.com/red-fox-track-decal-stoa-hunting-stickers/ Eastern Red Fox! The Red Fox is 1 of only 2 fox species found in NC. Unlike other canine species, Red Foxes grows a lot of hair between their toes. Sometimes their feet grow so much hair that you cannot see their toeprints when they leave behind tracks. Why do you think they need that much hair on their feet? (Hint: Foxes hunt for their food, do you think they need to be loud or quiet? How does hair help animals during the winter) Check out this link to learn more about the Eastern Red Fox! https://www.ncwildlife.org/Portals/0/Learning/documents/Profiles/RedFox_1.pdf.

  • Wild Turkey Brochure (PDF)
    IN NEW YORK STATE ften symbolizing America’s Thanksgiving meal, the Eastern wild turkey is a magnificent bird that epito- Omizes the spirit of a survivor. These birds made an incredible comeback, largely through active restoration efforts, after being extirpated from New York State in the early 1840s. In fact, along with the bald eagle and the wood duck, the return of the Eastern wild turkey is perhaps one of America’s greatest restoration success stories. Today wild populations of this striking North American native can be found across the state, fre- quently spotted feeding along the side of the road or in farm fields. Shy, wary birds, wild turkeys are woodland species that prefer mixed areas of forest and farmland. They are social creatures, usually found in flocks. With keen hearing and superb eyesight, they can cleverly hide when danger approaches. Wild turkeys are excellent fliers, able to reach speeds of 40 to 55 mph over short distances when necessary. Usually, however, they prefer to walk or run to escape danger. At dusk, turkeys fly into trees to roost and spend the night. An entire flock may roost in a single tree, or in a number of nearby trees. Eastern wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo goes off by herself to nest on the ground in woods, or along silvestris) are very distinct-looking, large, wooded areas in brush and in open fields. Hens lay 10 -12 dark-bodied birds. Males are especially eggs which hatch after 28 days. The hens then move their impressive with 5 - 12 inch long beards brood into grassy areas to feed on insects.

  • Turkey, Grouse, Bobwhite & Pheasant Wildlife Chapter Template
    Gallinaceous Birds Order Galliformes Family Phasianidae Gallinaceous birds refer to a group of ground-living birds, like pheasants, turkeys, grouse and quail, that are chicken-like and share certain physical characteristics. They have strong legs and very thick, powerful toes with well developed nails, which are perfect for scratching the ground in search of seeds & grains. They also eat fruits, berries, shoots, leaves, grasses and insects. They have strong seed-craking bills. Males in this group often have elaborate plumage they can raise or spread during breeding season to entice a harem of females. Most males, also known as cockbirds or roosters, do not help with raising the precocial chicks. Females are called hens. These birds usually only fly in short, explosive bursts for short distances (sometimes accom- panied by a racous call) before settling down again. Wild Turkey Meleagris gallopavo Famous for its role in that all-American of holidays, Thanksgiving, the turkey is our largest game- bird. Adult males, “gobblers” or “toms,” stand up to 3 feet tall and 3 to 4 feet long. The hens are almost a third shorter and weigh half as much. Like all ground birds that rely little on flight, turkeys are heavy birds – an adult tom may be up to 25 pounds. Compare that to a large great horned owl that may weigh only three pounds! Wild turkeys have long slender necks and bodies with a fleshy, multi-colored head and neck. Their overall plumage is metallic bronze, browns and blacks to help them camouflage in the wild, and their tail feathers are edged in brown instead of the white tips found on domesticated turkeys.

  • Wild Turkey Population History and Overview
    Wild Turkey Population History and Overview Natural history The North American wild turkey (Melaeagris gallopavo) and the ocellated turkey (M. ocellata) of Mexico are the only two species of wild turkey extant in the world today. Taxonomically, they belong to the order Galliformes, family Phasianidae, and subfamily Meleagridinae [1]. Six geographic subspecies of the North American wild turkey are recognized [2]. The eastern subspecies (M. g. silvestris) occupies roughly the eastern half of the United States and parts of southeastern Canada. The Florida wild turkey or Osceola subspecies (M. g. osceola) inhabits the Florida peninsula south of the Suwannee River. In the western half of the continent, the Merriam’s wild turkey (M. g. merriami) occupies much of the intermountain West, and the Rio Grande turkey (M. g. intermedia) is found primarily in the plains states of the central United States and the northeastern Mexican states. The fifth subspecies, the Gould’s wild turkey (M. g. mexicana), is found in southeastern Arizona, southwestern New Mexico, and in the Sierra Madre Occidental Mountains of Mexico. The sixth subspecies, the Mexican wild turkey (M.g. gallopavo) is now thought to be extinct. It is from this subspecies that all domestic turkeys are believed to descend; a livestock species that in 2012 provided nearly 5.75 billion kg of meat to markets worldwide [3,4]. Historic decline Pre-Columbian populations of wild turkeys in the United States were conservatively estimated at 10 million animals [6] and they were an important resource for Native Americans who used the animals for food, clothing, tools, and ceremonial purposes [2,6].

The unmistakable gobble and showy tail fan of the tom turkey indicate competition to pass on its genes to the next generation. To many people, the sight of strutting gobblers, as males vie for the attention of hens, is an unforgettable scene in spring.

  • About Turkeys [PDF]
    About Turkeys John James Audubon, a well-known bird expert and nature enthusiast, described wild turkeys as birds of great beauty. 1 The history and origin of wild turkeys is uncertain, yet many share Audubon’s sentiment that the wild turkey is “one of the most interesting of the birds indigenous to the United States of America.” 2 Today, wild turkeys can be found throughout the nation. 3 Following the selection of the bald eagle as the American symbol, Benjamin Franklin remarked that the turkey was more “respectable”, and a “true original native”. 4 Background Turkeys ( Meleagris gallopavo) belong to the order Galliformes (along with grouse, guinea fowl, and chachalacas), the family Phasianidae (with pheasants, quail, peafowl, and jungle fowl), and the subfamily Meleagridinae. 5 Two turkey species survive today: M. gallopavo (the common turkey discussed here), and M. ocellata (the ocellated turkey). 6 Ocellated turkeys are native to Mexico’s Yucatán peninsula, Belize, and Guatemala and are distinguished from common turkeys by their smaller bodies, shorter legs, copper or bronze- green body plumage, and, in males, larger spurs and lack of beards. 7 Adult male turkeys are called “gobblers” or “toms,” while juvenile males are referred to as “jakes.” 8 Jakes can be distinguished by the four to six central feathers on their tail fans that are longer than the rest. Adult females are called “hens,” and hatchlings are called “poults.”9 The average weight of an adult female wild turkey is 8-11 pounds, 10 and adult males generally weigh 17-21 pounds.11 Every adult turkey possesses caruncles, a snood, and a dewlap.

  • WILD TURKEY Meleagris Gallopavo
    WILD TURKEY Meleagris gallopavo Other: Turkey (<1983), Pelehu M. g. intermedia (primarily) M.g. gallopavo, merriami, silvestris (partially) naturalized (non-native) resident, long established The Wild Turkey historically ranged from Arizona to e. N America and Mexico (Eaton 1992, AOU 1998). They have been domesticated throughout the world, while established introduced populations can be found in w. North America, Tasmania, New Zealand, and the Southeastern Hawaiian Islands (Hewitt 1967, Long 1981, Lever 1987, Marchant and Higgins 1993). Wild Turkeys (possibly along with Rock Pigeons) were the first bird species to be introduced to post-contact Hawaii, when “a number” of domesticated birds were brought to Hawai'i Island from China in 1788 and had produced over 20 young by 1789 (Meares 1791, Locey 1937, Swedberg 1967a, Walker 1967). Bloxam (1827b) noted that turkeys were abundant on O'ahu in 1825 and Townsend (1839) noted them on Kaua'i in 1835. Continued introductions from 1815 to 1963 (Caum 1933, Swedberg 1967a) along with escapes from domestic stock have resulted in established wild populations in dry brushy areas of several Southeastern Islands. Initial abundance throughout the islands through the 1930s (Munro 1944, PoP 18[3]:20) was curtailed by population crashes due to an epidemic of blackheads (Histomonas) between 1938 and 1941 (Schwartz and Schwartz 1949), but continued reintroduction efforts by HBAF and DoFAW have resulted in persistent populations on several islands through the early 2010s. The largest populations of Wild Turkeys exist on Hawai'i I, where 2-3000 were taken annually by hunters in the 1920s (Caum 1933). The population survived the epidemic on other islands of the late 1930s, being present along western slopes between 600 and 1500 m elevation (Schwartz and Schwartz 1949) and, following widespread introductions in 1958-1963 (Swedberg 1967a), they became well established in upslope habitats throughout the island (Lewin 1971, E 45:19).
