Turkeys, Grouse, and Quail

$30 Non-Member / $24 Member

Turkeys, grouse, quail, and their kin, collectively known as game birds, figure prominently on dinner tables this time of year. In this class we look past the gustatory aspect of these birds to explore their diversity, natural history, and conservation. This group includes some of the most beautiful birds in the world, some of the most elusive, and some others that have been released around the world as quarry for hunters. Join us for a look at these fascinating creatures!
