Elf Owl

Posted by admin

During July while working in southern Utah another Wildlife Resources employee and myself heard an Elf Owl singing in the Beaver Dam Wash southwest of St. George. We played a tape and the bird replied each time the song was played. Unfortunately the bird can barealy be heard on this, which wasn’t what I expected when I recorded it…

North American Wild Turkey

Posted by admin

A look at the North American wild turkey. The first group foraging are females, called hens. The second bunch of running birds are a group of males known as gobblers. You can tell the difference between the two by the “beards” on the males. A clump of long thin feathers hanging from the base of their throats. Turkeys are very elusive and secretive animals. They spend most of their time on the ground, but they can still fly pretty well!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
