Upland Birds

Popular upland birds that are found across the country include turkeys, pheasants, grouse, and quail.

Most male upland birds have brighter feathers or features than females. The female's plain feathers help her provide camouflage cover for her nest.

The basic shape of upland birds is similar to chickens—short rounded wings, short bills, and heavy bodies. Upland birds seek cover in brush or woodlands and prefer to live on dry land close to water.
