Wild Turkey Country

A fascinating and extravagantly illustrated (color photographs many full- or double-page by Gary Griffen) natural history revealing in detail the wild turkey's life cycle, behavior, foods, habitat, and other aspects of its ecology. Williams, who draws upon studies he performed for his master's and doctoral theses, also considers the bird's relationship to man, from near extinction at the turn of the century to the success of modern restoration efforts.
