Anyone up for one more "gobble?" Step into the Museum’s Hall of North American Birds to meet the Wild Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo)! This bird's wide range includes parts of New York, Pennsylvania, Oklahoma, Florida, Texas, & Mexico. A male’s “gobble” can be heard from nearly one mile away! Gobbles are typically belted out by males who are trying to attract a mate or compete with a fellow male. The Museum’s Wild Turkey Diorama depicts a scene from the mountains of West Virginia.
On Saturday, November 30, the Museum will open early, at 9 am! Check out our website for more details and to plan your visit.
