Eastern Wild Turkey

Meleagris gallopavo

Description:

I know it's a wild turkey...is there a certain species or breed that differentiates it from other turkeys? I see this turkey all over the neighborhood. I think he or she is lost from the group. :(

Habitat:

Woods inside of a suburban neighborhood
