Ocellated turkey
The ocellated turkey (Meleagris ocellata) is a species of turkey residing primarily in the Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico, as well as in parts of Belize and Guatemala. It is a relative of the North American wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo), although it is somewhat smaller. The body feathers of both sexes are a mixture of bronze and green iridescent color, with neither sex possessing the beard typically found in wild turkeys. Tail feathers of both sexes are bluish-grey with an eye-shaped, blue-bronze spot near the end with a bright gold tip. These spots, or ocelli (for which the ocellated turkey is named) have been likened to the patterning typically found on peafowl. This ocellated turkey was photographed near Tikal in the Petén region of Guatemala.Photograph credit: Charles J. Sharp

Someday soon I'll make this into a really spiffy userpage. Until then:

I'm Ken Warren, a middle aged Wikipedian. In real life I'm a solution architect with a consulting firm that specializes in BI/BPM solutions. I'm also a photographer.

My interests range from reading science fiction and fantasy, to collecting "coffee table" books of art and photography, amateur astronomy, woodworking, to auto racing. So a little of a lot of things, like a lot of people here. My current major interests on Wikipedia are improving the information on mid-century pin-up artists and the science fiction sections.
