  • Turkeys travel in flocks and search on the ground for nuts, berries, insects, and snails. They use their strong feet to scratch leaf litter out of the way. In early spring, males gather in clearings to perform courtship displays. They puff up their body feathers, flare their tails into a vertical fan, and strut slowly while giving a characteristic gobbling call. At night, turkeys fly up into trees to roost in groups.

  • In the early 1900s, wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) populations declined significantly throughout the United States, due to habitat destruction and unregulated subsistence hunting.
  • In 2004, it was estimated that wild turkeys populated 750 million acres of suitable habitat, with only 5 million acres (less than 1 percent) of suitable habitat remaining uninhabited.
  • The Eastern wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) is the most widely distributed, abundant and hunted wild turkey subspecies in the United States. Since the eastern wild turkey ranges the farthest north, individuals can also grow to be among the largest of any of the subspecies. It inhabits roughly the eastern half of the country. It's found in hardwood and mixed forests from New England, southern Canada and northern Florida in the east to Texas, Missouri, Iowa and Minnesota in the west. It has also been successfully transplanted in states outside of its orginal range including: California, Oregon and Washington. Population: 5.1 to 5.3 million wild turkeys Download the NWTF's Eastern Wildlife Bulletin
