Description: I met these Rio Grande Wild Turkeys at Bentsen RGV SP. They are one of six subspecies (M. g. intermedia) recognised by science. The mercury rose to 30°F this morning from 22°F yesterday in south Texas. I had camped only a mile-and-a-half from Bentsen Rio Grande Valley State Park, so despite the cold, I ventured out for a couple of hours, until my hands began complaining of the low temperature. |
