New Mexico Seeks Input on Proposed Delisting of Gould’s Wild Turkey

Posted by TBC Press on 11/08/21 The New Mexico Department of Game and Fish (Department) is initiating an investigation into potentially removing Gould’s wild turkey from the state list of threatened and endangered species. Pursuant to the Wildlife Conservation Act [17-2-40 NMSA 1978], investigations into delisting a species may be conducted based on new biological evidence. At this time the Department is soliciting comments and concerns from the general public about... READ MORE

Naturalist Perspectives Assignment 7: Evolution in the Landscape

Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo): 

The wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) evolved more than 11 million years ago and inhabits in North America. This organism is closely related with chicken. New research from the University of Kent suggests that chickens and turkeys experienced fewer gross genomic changes than other birds as they evolved from their dinosaur ancestors, which is very interesting. According to thespruce.com, “There are five distinct subspecies of wild turkeys: Eastern, Osceola, Rio Grande, Merriam’s and Gould’s. Subtle plumage differences and different ranges distinguish the birds. In some classifications, a sixth subspecies - the south Mexican wild turkey - is also recognized. Another turkey, the ocellated turkey, is a completely separate species and looks quite different from the more familiar wild turkeys.” While Turkeys have evolved from many species over the last 11 millions years, domestication has been a popular selective pressure to the evolution of the wild turkey. 

Artificial selection is “the intentional reproduction of individuals in a population that have desirable traits. In organisms that reproduce sexually, two adults that possess a desired trait — such as two parent plants that are tall — are bred together”(learner.com). The domestication of turkeys has brought the capitalization of turkey in mainstream culture such as the Thanksgiving holiday. The��artificial selection allows the control of the breeding process but can also lead to unintended mutations within a population of organisms which can, in turn, add more breeds to the turkey species.  

According to The Carolina: 

“The wild turkey, which is still found in the United States and much of Central America, is a wholly different bird than the one typically eaten. The wild turkey is a good flyer, often roosting in tree boughs, and it can run as fast as a horse in a straight line. The domestic turkey is, in many cases, incapable of flying. In fact, some have been known to get so large that their legs cannot even hold them up, rendering them unable to walk or breed. Due to the pressure to create a more domesticated bird, Meso-American tribes bred turkeys that were less likely to fly away from humans or even to fly at all. This made it easier to collect eggs and catch turkeys for meat. Once turkeys were shipped to Europe by the Spanish, turkey meat was considered a delicacy, and breeding programs began to increase the size of turkeys to feed more people. Turkey size turns out to be a highly inheritable trait, with parent size indicating the maximum size a farmer can expect a turkey to attain.” 

While the evolution of the turkey can be traced back to ancient civilization, it is evident that much has not changed. The domestication of turkeys have in turn created a temporary barrier to the further evolution of these turkeys although wild turkeys still exist.

Where the Wild Turkeys Are

November 20th, 2017|Tags: Holidays, wildlife|0 Comments

.fusion-fullwidth-1 { padding-left: px !important; padding-right: px !important; }

By Dylan Stuntz, American Forests

This Thanksgiving, you might find turkey on your plate, but it generally isn’t of the wild variety. On the contrary, wild turkeys are found in forests across the country — 49 states, to be exact! Five subspecies are scattered throughout the continental U.S. and Hawaiʻi, indicating the turkey’s ability to live in a variety of forest ecosystems, from swamps to oak forests to deep desert.

Turkeys’ preferred habitat is mixed-conifer and hardwood forests, with various open spaces to find food, such as seeds, nuts, leaves and insects. Despite their large size, they are agile fliers and capable of roosting among high trees, either while foraging for food or avoiding predators.

Each subspecies prefers a unique habitat and possesses slightly different plumage, but they are all considered to be members of the same species of wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo).

Eastern wild turkey

(Meleagris gallopavo silvestris)

Christened “forest turkey” by the Puritans in the 1800s, this turkey has the largest range of any subspecies. They can be found in much of the eastern U.S., spanning from the Canadian border to northern Florida and westward to the Mississippi River. They can be identified by the brown-tipped upper tail feather found on the male. Habitat for this subspecies is typically wet, swampy land, or early-growth forests with low-lying brush situated throughout.

Osceola wild turkey

(Meleagris gallopavo osceola)

This subspecies can only be found in southern Florida. The smallest subspecies of wild turkey, this bird has darker, green-tinged feathers and can be found among palmetto stands and swamps. Researchers estimate that 80,000 to 100,000 birds make up the population, but an accurate count is difficult to make because the bird’s swampy habitat isn’t very accessible to researchers.

Rio Grande wild turkey

(Meleagris gallopavo intermedia)

Found among the southern/central desert regions of the U.S. this bird was also introduced and has found a niche in northern California and Hawaiʻi. Out of the five subspecies, this one has the longest legs, which are best adapted to prairie living. The Rio Grande wild turkey can usually be found among scrub oak, mesquite and pine forests, as well as along streams and river bottoms.

Merriam’s wild turkey

(Meleagris gallopavo merriami)

These turkeys are native to the Rocky Mountains, clustering among forests of ponderosa pine. The back feathers of this subspecies are white-tipped. During the winter months, the turkeys will move down the mountain slopes to avoid snow, then return during the spring to feast on dropped seeds. The turkey was named after C. Hart Merriam, first chief of the Division of Economic Ornithology and Mammalogy of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, a division that would later become the National Wildlife Research Center and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Gould’s wild turkey

(Meleagris gallopavo mexicana)

The largest of the subspecies, this turkey can only be found in Arizona, New Mexico and northern Mexico. Its feathers are copper-colored with a greenish tint. They frequent small underbrush, commonly found along dry creek beds. While this turkey inhabits a dryer climate than the other subspecies, it manages to subsist on a diet of insects, berries and seeds, scavenging wherever possible.

While each of these varieties of turkey may have slightly different habitat, one thing remains constant: To support a wild turkey population, the landscape needs to have vegetation. Turkeys co-exist with trees and forests all across the country, whether it be roosting in them, feasting on them or simply living among them.

FieldPost.com. Gould’s wild turkey was first described by J. Gould in 1856 during his travels in Mexico. Today this subspecies can be found in northwestern Mexico and parts of southern Arizona and New Mexico. There are currently several hundred Gould’s wild turkeys in the United States, and even more south of the border. #wildturkey #nationalwildturkeyfederation #goulds https://www.instagram.com/p/BoePsTHAJuv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=71a5ocgpf9zz

More MLS Musings!

TorontoRealtyBlog

The TREB numbers came out on Wednesday, and there is much to be discussed.

But I felt that post deserved two days of attention, rather than the one day that Friday’s blogs get.  That, and it’s a long weekend, so many of you would otherwise miss the post.

Let’s get back to serious topics on Tuesday, and for now, enjoy some of my favourite MLS-amusements from the fall market thus far…

It’s the best of both worlds this week.

You get the MLS descriptions, with all their errors, exaggerations, misssspellings, and comical salesmanship, as well as a few key photos of properties currently up for sale.

Let’s start this one with a bang, shall we?

I have absolutely, positively, zero idea what the listing agent for this rental was thinking.

I mean, I know what he or she was thinking, but I can’t understand why this person put it in writing…

–

Here’s how you know you hired a bum agent who works for a discounted rate:

Bravo.

Seriously.

No measurements, okay.  You probably forgot your tape that day.

But you couldn’t say anything about the property?

–

You know how I always complain about agents who write in the MLS listing, “Prime Leslieville” when the house is at Gerrard and Carlaw?

Well what about agents who use words like “boutique” to describe large condos?

Boutique, eh?

160 Frederick Street – that’s boutique.  It’s only 12 units.

The Button Factory at 200 Clinton Street?  That’s boutique.  It’s only 13 units.

But a 305-unit building?  Calling that boutique would infer that the average condo in the downtown core has 3,000 units…

–

How about this one?

The first line is really rubbing salt into the wound:

Why live in a condo?

Gee, I dunno.  Maybe because you can’t afford a house?

And since when is living “close to Danforth Ave” also living close to the Entertainment District?  Last I checked, that was at Richmond & Peter…

–

Here’s an agent who is putting his or her laziness in writing:

–

There’s a few things I like about this one, take a look:

“This unit is perfect for one person, or a couple.”

“Live here, or rent here.”

Wow, thanks for pointing out the option set.

Is this listing agent the most indecisive person ever?  Is this really what constitutes marketing?  Pointing out that you can buy this unit and live in it, or rent it?  I just ordered a salad, and it came with dressing on the side.  I didn’t know what the dressing was for, but then I called the listing agent for this condo, and he said, “Put the salad on the dressing, or leave it on the side.”

And what’s with the “very few were ever constructed” and “they are rare?”  In the context of what?  In the context of this building, there are hundreds.  In the context of the downtown core, there are thousands.

Who writes this?

–

Another listing with several key points:

First of all, a true “panoramic” view would offer more than just south-east.  It would, in fact, offer north, east, south, and west.  That’s what panoramic means!  From the Greek word pan, meaning “all.”

The “iconic amenities,” oh boy.

Just like “boutique” was used above, what does “iconic” mean in the real estate context?

To be truly iconic, there would have to be something significantly unique and/or special, perhaps unparallelled, about the amenities.  Not just the standard gym, pool, party room, and rooftop with dirty barbecues.

And lastly, why brag about appliances from 2015?

–

Here’s one for a property outside the GTA, where I suppose “less is more” with respect to staging, marketing, preparing the property for sale, and rolling out the red carpet for potential buyers:

–

Have you seen the artist’s renderings for the new Leaside Manor condo in, well, Leaside?

This isn’t a joke, folks.

This is how units are being pre-sold:

Want a closer look?

Okay, fine, only because you asked…

Come on!

Is real estate so easy to sell in Toronto that THIS is what artist’s renderings are going to look like?

The guy in the second photo doesn’t even have a face!

I believe this is a photo of the parking:

–

How about this listing?

It reminds me of something, I just can’t remember what.

I’m thinking….

I’m thinking….

…..I’m thinking….

…..ah, right:

–

And last, but certainly not least, the single-greatest “photographer photo” I’ve ever seen.

You know I love photos with fingers and thumbs covering part of the lens.

And you know what I love even more, is a reflection of photographer in the bathroom mirror, microwave glass, or window pane.

But this one is epic.

This is literally as though the photographer was taking a photo of himself:

Ep 21 Interview with Peter Muller of National Wild Turkey Federation

Episode 21 Peter Muller with National Wild Turkey Federation

Outdoor Adventures with Jayson

  In this special episode of Outdoor Adventures with Jayson I talk with Peter Muller, Public Relations Manager at The National Wild Turkey Federation (www.nwtf.org).

In this show I discuss Pete’s background and we discuss in depth The National Wild Turkey Federation and the 2017 NWTF 41st Annual Convention & Sport Show. The show this year runs from February 15-19, 2017 in Nashville, TN at the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center.

We discuss the growth of the convention, location and all the opportunities available at the convention. We discuss the Royal Slam and how there will be a seminar called Going for the Goulds hosted by Manuel Enriquez of El Halcon Outfitters (www.halconoutfitters.net) and Cally Morris of Hazel Creek Taxidermy (www.hazelcreekinc.com).

We also discuss some of the many sponsors involved in the convention, with some being Cabela’s (www.cabelas.com), Bass Pro (www.basspro.com), Yeti (www.yeti.com), Mossy Oak (www.mossyoak.com), Zink Calls (www.zinkcalls), and the list goes on (please go to www.nwtf.com and look at the Convention tab. It really is a great list of sponsors).

Please consider joining the National Wild Turkey Federation, dues are just $35 for the year (and that includes a free gift), but the magazine, and access to the convention for free.

If you would like to contact Pete, you can email him directly at [email protected].

Mexican (Gould’s) turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo mexicana) at Ash Canyon. 

These birds are part of a flock of about twenty turkeys that are wintering in the canyon. They are the largest subspecies of wild turkeys in the United States, with striking long legs and vivid feather coloration. It is also the turkey subspecies with the fewest numbers. The birds were entirely extirpated in their historic range in the U.S., subject to overhunting by early pioneers. In the 1990s the Arizona Game and Fish Department and U.S. Forest Service released 35 wild turkeys from Mexico into their former habitat, and a population of about 1200 birds is now established in montane areas of southern Arizona and New Mexico.  

Like many birds in the U.S., this turkey is stuck with a name that honors an ODWG (Old Dead White Guy), John Gould, recognized mainly as a skilled taxidermist and illustrator, and as a friend of explorer-naturalists like Darwin. He certainly never saw one of these birds in the wild. Because representation and diversity matter, I support removal of eponymous bird names, and renaming with descriptive terms. My proposal for this bird is the Chiricahua turkey, for the sky island mountain range here in southeastern Arizona. The mountain range itself is named using the Opata word for wild turkey, and offers a clear cultural and geographical link to these marvelous animals.

More MLS Musings!

TorontoRealtyBlog

The TREB numbers came out on Wednesday, and there is much to be discussed.

But I felt that post deserved two days of attention, rather than the one day that Friday’s blogs get.  That, and it’s a long weekend, so many of you would otherwise miss the post.

Let’s get back to serious topics on Tuesday, and for now, enjoy some of my favourite MLS-amusements from the fall market thus far…

It’s the best of both worlds this week.

You get the MLS descriptions, with all their errors, exaggerations, misssspellings, and comical salesmanship, as well as a few key photos of properties currently up for sale.

Let’s start this one with a bang, shall we?

I have absolutely, positively, zero idea what the listing agent for this rental was thinking.

I mean, I know what he or she was thinking, but I can’t understand why this person put it in writing…

–

Here’s how you know you hired a bum agent who works for a discounted rate:

Bravo.

Seriously.

No measurements, okay.  You probably forgot your tape that day.

But you couldn’t say anything about the property?

–

You know how I always complain about agents who write in the MLS listing, “Prime Leslieville” when the house is at Gerrard and Carlaw?

Well what about agents who use words like “boutique” to describe large condos?

Boutique, eh?

160 Frederick Street – that’s boutique.  It’s only 12 units.

The Button Factory at 200 Clinton Street?  That’s boutique.  It’s only 13 units.

But a 305-unit building?  Calling that boutique would infer that the average condo in the downtown core has 3,000 units…

–

How about this one?

The first line is really rubbing salt into the wound:

Why live in a condo?

Gee, I dunno.  Maybe because you can’t afford a house?

And since when is living “close to Danforth Ave” also living close to the Entertainment District?  Last I checked, that was at Richmond & Peter…

–

Here’s an agent who is putting his or her laziness in writing:

–

There’s a few things I like about this one, take a look:

“This unit is perfect for one person, or a couple.”

“Live here, or rent here.”

Wow, thanks for pointing out the option set.

Is this listing agent the most indecisive person ever?  Is this really what constitutes marketing?  Pointing out that you can buy this unit and live in it, or rent it?  I just ordered a salad, and it came with dressing on the side.  I didn’t know what the dressing was for, but then I called the listing agent for this condo, and he said, “Put the salad on the dressing, or leave it on the side.”

And what’s with the “very few were ever constructed” and “they are rare?”  In the context of what?  In the context of this building, there are hundreds.  In the context of the downtown core, there are thousands.

Who writes this?

–

Another listing with several key points:

First of all, a true “panoramic” view would offer more than just south-east.  It would, in fact, offer north, east, south, and west.  That’s what panoramic means!  From the Greek word pan, meaning “all.”

The “iconic amenities,” oh boy.

Just like “boutique” was used above, what does “iconic” mean in the real estate context?

To be truly iconic, there would have to be something significantly unique and/or special, perhaps unparallelled, about the amenities.  Not just the standard gym, pool, party room, and rooftop with dirty barbecues.

And lastly, why brag about appliances from 2015?

–

Here’s one for a property outside the GTA, where I suppose “less is more” with respect to staging, marketing, preparing the property for sale, and rolling out the red carpet for potential buyers:

–

Have you seen the artist’s renderings for the new Leaside Manor condo in, well, Leaside?

This isn’t a joke, folks.

This is how units are being pre-sold:

Want a closer look?

Okay, fine, only because you asked…

Come on!

Is real estate so easy to sell in Toronto that THIS is what artist’s renderings are going to look like?

The guy in the second photo doesn’t even have a face!

I believe this is a photo of the parking:

–

How about this listing?

It reminds me of something, I just can’t remember what.

I’m thinking….

I’m thinking….

…..I’m thinking….

…..ah, right:

–

And last, but certainly not least, the single-greatest “photographer photo” I’ve ever seen.

You know I love photos with fingers and thumbs covering part of the lens.

And you know what I love even more, is a reflection of photographer in the bathroom mirror, microwave glass, or window pane.

But this one is epic.

This is literally as though the photographer was taking a photo of himself:
