Types of Wildlife in Illinois |
| Wild Turkey |
|
Wild turkeys are covered with dark feathers that help them blend in with their woodland homes. The bare skin on the throat and head of a turkey can change color from flat gray to striking shades of red, white, and blue when the bird becomes distressed or excited. They make the "gobble gobble sound." Thomas Jefferson was going to make the turkey the national bird instead of the eagle. |
