Okay, so last spring I hunted in an area that holds Merriam's, Rio's and Easterns (and probably hybrids, too), and I got me one. My wife got one, too, and when we got our fans back from the taxidermist at Christmas, I could see that the coloration is significantly different between the two. I'd thought hers was a Rio and mine an Eastern when we took them, as I am familiar with Easterns and, to me, a Merriam's is always white tipped, but I'm wondering if there is a website anyone knows of that gives a detailed, comprehensive method of determining which of the subspecies a particular bird is, (with photos, etc.) so that I can express my opinion backed up with some authority? The NWTF website is not really sufficient. Does anyone know of a more detailed site?

(And as soon as my daughter figures out how to upload her digital camera pictures to her computer and e-mails me the picture she took of mine, I'll post it to the site--my turkey had five (5) beards, and I promised a pic post last spring.)
