Getting Wild with Turkey

Turkey may surface in your mind this November as a menu item, but have you ever observed a wild turkey in nature? Did you see a male or a female turkey? If so, how did you tell the difference?

Take a trot with us as we talk with Sensing Nature wildlife biologist, Jeanne Murphy on why we should give the turkey its well-deserved appreciation.
