As we head into Thanksgiving weekend, meet the real stars of the season — wild turkeys! These feathered icons aren’t just famous for their fan-shaped tails; they’re also surprisingly speedy (up to 20 mph on foot!) and excellent fliers when they need a quick escape. Happy almost-Turkey Day! #WildlifeWednesday #Turkeys #FallWildlife #NatureFacts #GetOutside #ParkWildlife #OutdoorLearning #ExploreNature #PublicLands #NaturesNeighbors 📸: NationalParkService Image: A male wild turkey is puffed up and displaying its bright red and blue throat and beak, in Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve
