	Wild Turkey a Calif native
		All California checklists and avifaunas to date have considered the Wild Turkey Meleagris gallopavo to be a non-native introduced species in the State, and a fairly recent one at that.
		The California Turkey -- arising in isolation because of the Mojave Desert and Transverse Ranges that limit dispersal -- seems likely to be more similar in distribution to, say, the California Gnatcatcher, or the California (Dusky) Chipmunk, or a host of other vertebrates (snakes, lizards) whose range is limited to coastal southwestern California.
		Accordingly, the "I" (for "Introduced") that is appended to the name Wild Turkey on the official state list should bear an asterisk or footnote indicating that its ancestors were native California birds and that it was likely a California native once as well.
