Good pics. Was wondering why the differn't sub-species are not listed? 

Eastern....  http://www.wildturkeyzone.com/wildturkey/eastern.htm

Rio Grande....  http://www.wildturkeyzone.com/wildturkey/riogrande.htm

Merriams....  http://www.wildturkeyzone.com/wildturkey/merriams.htm

Osceola... http://www.wildturkeyzone.com/wildturkey/osceola.htm

The Gould's is being reintroduced into Arizona now and have a good population in Mexico.....  http://www.wildturkeyzone.com/wildturkey/goulds.htm

 

There is also a sub-species called the Oscellated which reside in central america.....  http://www.wildturkeyzone.com/wildturkey/ocellated.htm

Ah good point, I wish I had a good answer - but the thing is there are so many subspecies we decided to first get all the females and juveniles, then go back and fill in the sub species. The way birds keep mutating this is an endless process. Thanks for your references, they are great.
