| description | Abstract: Gould's wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo mexicana) were imported from Mexico into the United States during March 2003 and 2004. Ninety‐nine Gould's wild turkeys were trapped in Sonora, Mexico, and released in isolated mountain ranges of southeastern Arizona to establish new turkey populations, following a 30day quarantine required by U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) regulations. A state of the art quarantine facility was constructed in the Chiricahua Mountains of southeastern Arizona to reduce mortality associated with quarantine holding. In 2003, 2 birds died in transit from Mexico and 47 birds were placed into the quarantine. After a 35‐day period, 39 birds (83%) were released. In 2004, a single bird died in transit and 49 birds were placed in quarantine; 43 birds (88%) were later released. |
