67: Wild Turkey Revisited - with Jacob Drucker

We revisit an old episode on the Wild Turkey this week. These birds are a major conservation success story. We also talk about John seeing a turkey in the Democratic Republic of Congo, how turkeys got their name, and learn all about their magnificent feathers. Join John Bates, Shannon Hackett, RJ Pole, and Amanda Marquart for Birds of a Feather Talk Together. This week we are also joined by Jacob Drucker. Jacob Drucker is a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Chicago and the Field Museum studying how birds interact with tropical climates over ecological and evolutionary time. We also did a couple episodes on Hawaiian Honeycreepers with Jacob, please go back and check those out if you haven't heard them yet. Email us your questions at [email protected] Follow us on Instagram for pictures of the birds we discuss, specimen, and more info! @birds_of_a_feather_podcastWe are also on Tiktok and Blue Sky Social!Here are links to our social and YouTube pages, give us a follow:YouTube InstagramTikTokBlueSky
