In this episode of the Mississippi Outdoors Podcast, Matt Wyatt sits down with Dr. Richard Buchholz, biology professor at the University of Mississippi, to explore the strange and fascinating world of wild turkeys. Dr. Buchholz shares his journey from the Bronx Zoo to studying wild turkeys in the Florida wilderness, eventually becoming a leading researcher on turkey behavior, mating displays, and yes—the science of the snood. They also discuss his work with oscillated turkeys in Central America, his surprising methods for catching them, and the growing success of the Gulf Sea Life citizen science app.
