Monday Nature Mystery

We are pleased to announce the winner of last week's Monday Mystery, Kristal Miller!

Three people correctly identified our mystery feather at exactly the same time, Wild Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo). This large game bird can be found in every state except Alaska. Did you know that Benjamin Franklin wanted the Wild Turkey to be our national symbol instead of the Bald Eagle? To learn more about Wild Turkeys, click here… ([link removed])

Each Monday we’ll post a new photo and identify the previous week’s winner. They’ll receive an ASNV hat or tote bag.

Here is this week’s mystery photo:

Do you know what it is? It was observed in Fairfax County. Post your guess (please list both common name and Latin name) on our Facebook page @AudubonVA ([link removed]) under Monday Nature Mystery.

Good luck!
