Ocellated Turkey
One of the most endearing features of Chan Chich is the Ocellated Turkeys. Their feathers are colorful, with iridescent blue and gold patches. They have caruncles on their head and eyespots on their tail. You can get to within five feet of them before they back away. Once when my guide and I were trying to walk quietly through the woods, we heard some stomping through the leaves, and an Ocellated Turkey walked right past us as if we were not there.
