A lot to admire about the wild turkey: “Despite their weight, wild turkeys, unlike their domesticated counterparts, are agile, fast fliers [and] have many calls: assembly call, gobble, plain yelp, purr, cluck and purr, cluck, cutt, excited yelp, fly-down cackle, tree call, kee kee run, and putt.”

In 1863, Abraham Lincoln invited a divided and bleeding nation to pray and give thanks, a national thanksgiving—fashioned in the 18th century—having its heart in the turmoil of the 19th.
