Description
A Turkey Tom tries to impress a hen as she walks by. Taken in Thornton, Colorado. Wild Turkeys can be found in every state in the union except Alaska. Benjamin Franklin famously loved these birds writing in a letter to his daughter, "For the Truth the Turkey is in Comparison a much more respectable Bird, and withal a true original Native of America… He is besides, though a little vain & silly, a Bird of Courage, and would not hesitate to attack a Grenadier of the British Guards who should presume to invade his Farm Yard with a red Coat on."
