Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. These turkeys were strolling the high country of north central Colorado. They are Merriam's Turkeys, one of the five subspecies of North America, along with the Eastern, the Rio Grande, Gould's and the Osceola (or Florida) Wild Turkey. The Merriam's are found primarily in the ponderosa pine forests of Colorado, New Mexico and northern Arizona. The can be distinguished by the lighter feathers at the base of their tail.
