Title: Ocellated Turkey
Post by: Pat Hodgson on March 19, 2014, 12:39:58 PM
Here are a couple of shots from Mexico.

This one is a Yucatan endemic and very hard to see outside of large protected areas.  But on the road into the Calakmul ruins (southeastern Campeche state), well inside the Calakmul Biosphere Reserve, there are lots of them.  I also saw two female great curassow but did not get a photo.

These caught me by surprise because they were a bit outside the mapped range.  Caobas, QR
