All of these experiences have been with brown/black/gray birds, birds known for their camouflage. Trips Honduras Pico Bonito'

The most likely bird would be Fulvous Whistling-Duck which I tried for and dipped on last year thanks to the refuge that was good for them being closed for hunting on the day that I made the attempt. Ever since I met Julie in Honduras back in 2009 I have wanted to get out birding with her again. It hasn’t happened.

The one case that could have been an actual Turkey was a bird spotted in Honduras, where they may or may not have been, by our friend Christopher Columbus. The chance that this was a real Turkey are not great, and the chance that Columbus actually brought breeding stock from Honduras to Spain is not great, so maybe, maybe not.
