Wild Turkey
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The wild turkey is an iconic bird for the United States. Found virtually all over the country and into Mexico, turkeys are a large game bird with dark feathers and iridescent bronze-green coloring. Color variations differ out west as white tips can be seen on their tails as well. These birds move in large groups known as flocks. Despite their large size they can still fly short distances if needed.

Song Sparrow

A Song Sparrow perched on drying brambles in a meadow. These sparrows are among the most widespread in North America. While sparrows may look similar to each other, the Song Sparrows song can be heard from quite a distance and is quite unmistakeable, a personal favorite sound during warmer months.

A Grey Catbird resting along the side of a beaver pond. These migrating birds go through a transformation that allows them to travel across the continent. By strengthening their flight muscles they increase their overall size tremendously.

A peaceful view within Rockefeller State Park Preserve in Pleasantville, NY. The trail is called Overlook which is quite fitting as it overlooks the preserve's most frequented feature, Swan Lake.

A female Downy Woodpecker having a snack at a bird feeder. Downy and Hairy Woodpeckers look extremely identical but can be differentiated by their size and beaks!
