According to the Audubon Society, this ocellated turkey is the only other type of turkey there is. Unlike our wild turkey, it is seen only in parts of Mexico, Belize, and Guatemala.

Seems these birds have to be on the lookout for jaguars.
Somehow there's always a cat of some kind hovering around endangering critters.... (Don't take it personally, Sam. I know you read these posts.)SPMS diagnosed 1980. Avonex 2001-2004. Copaxone 2006-2009. Glatopa (glatiramer acetate = Copaxone) 12/20 - 3/19/24.Comment

Thank you for sharing this photo. The feathers on this bird are absolutely stunning! (And probably in high demand by hunters?) Isn't Nature incredible?
Love & Light,
