Wild turkey at Catoctin Mountain Park
The hardwood forest and stream environment provides excellent habitat for many species of birds. Over 200 species are thought to occur in the park during some part of the year, including the wild turkey, which started to reoccupy its old habitat in the 1960’s. The pileated woodpecker is also abundant in the park due to the vast expanse of hardwood forest that this bird requires to live.
