Ben Franklin suggested
the wild turkey as the national bird because of its keen senses and
wariness. Anyone who has ever hunted this foxy foul knows what he was
referring to. But, as we all know, the powerful bald eagle won, talons down.
Less than 20 years ago, the wild turkey was a very rare sight in Northern
New York. Through modern conservation efforts, habitat enhancement and human
respect for nature's children, they are now a common sight in our woodlands.
This acrylic painting
was commissioned by St. Lawrence Explosives Corp. and Hall Explosives Inc.
(owner, John Dunk) for their 1998 calendar image. Twenty five prints from
the edition have been set aside to used for promoting environmental and
wildlife conservation.
