Wild Turkey in the Woods

Step into the forest with this wild turkey walking through the woods. Shown in profile, the bird has a slender body with long legs, a small head topped by a snood and wattle, and a partly raised tail, moving past tall grass, a tree trunk, and a few ferns. Unlike the plump farm turkey, this wild version looks lean and alert, just as real wild turkeys do as they roam through forests foraging for nuts, seeds, and insects. The woodland setting gives colorers a full nature scene, with the bird, grass, tree, and ferns all waiting for color, making it a good fit for kids who like an outdoor backdrop. Wild turkeys are strong walkers and can even fly short bursts to escape danger. Reach for forest greens and earthy browns to set the mood. Print it on US Letter or A4 and color this woodland wanderer.
