As Independence Day approaches
I thought I'd share a FUN FACT about
the American Wild Turkey:
Benjamin Franklin wrote in a
letter to his daughter that the "silly" turkey
would have been a more appropriate
choice for the national bird than the Bald Eagle!
What do you think of that? If you find this amusing and have a minute, I suggest a Google search, there are articles from the NY Times, National Wildlife Federation, and the Smithsonian to name a few sources.
